I've registered with TPS and MPS and they both work beautifully - except that we seem to be getting more and more of those hand delivered letters addressed to 'the occupier' that are delivered by the postman. Surely if I've told them I don't want junk mail, then this would also apply to the junk delivered by hand. My OH…
