RESIDENTS in Studley and Alcester are being warned about a doorstep seller with a sense of irony who is knocking on doors and trying to sell people signs saying 'We don't buy from the doorstep'.

Warwickshire County Council Trading Standards officers said the seller was even warning consumers who already have a notice on their door that theirs had been superseded by the sign he was selling.
