    I'm not calling names. I'm saying that people shouldn't be silly.

    If I was calling names, I'd say that the previous posts were stupid. But that would be harsh.

    Silly is just an observation about over-reacting and calling everything a scam.

    I got one of these yesterday. Seeing as Littlewoods have peed me right off, I'm looking for suggestions to what I can attach the reply paid envelope to on my blog (http://whoknowswherethoughtscomefrom.blogspot.com/2007/07/great-universal-postmans-knockers.html)

    I received this same letter too. Mine is now shredded. I have received this same letter about 8 times now.

    i get one every few weeks
    If my typing is pants or I seem partcuarly blunt, please excuse me, it physically hurts to type. :wall: If I seem a bit random and don't make a lot of sense, it may have something to do with the voice recognition software that I'm using!

    I've just received one of these and I know its genuinely from Littlewoods. I also know that it would be just the £15 coming my way and nothing larger. What concerns me is their need to complete the details they already have of me. By addressing the letter as Ms, they obviously only know my address and surname.I guess £15 per person is peanuts to them after they've collected and sold on other info like this to their group companies.
    I'm curious to know where they get these bits of info to start with.

    Is this still going on from 2009?
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.
