    Any junk mail delivered to me is now used to wipe up dog carp in the local park and then gets posted back !

    I think it's a difficult one, yes most of the political junk I throw straight in the bin but then aren't we the first to complain when an election happens and we moan that the councillors can't even be bothered to highlight what they are doing? We can't have it both ways

    To be honest, junk mail doesn't bother me, I have to bend down to pick up the post anyway, so to sift through it and then put what is unsolicited in the recycling bin is no hardship, there are much more important things in life to get up in arms about, besides, junk mail obviously works, I guess it's a legitimate form of advertising that gets these companies new customers, they wouldn't do it if it didnt

  • Is it really such a big issue to you to make such a fuss over?

    Have you tried taking the junk-mail and putting it in the recycling bin without getting so stressed out?

    Just bin it and worry about other things in life.

    I can't believe someone would waste so much time on such a non-issue.

    Finally. How did it take so long for someone to reply with this?

    It has zero impact on someone's life if a couple of bits of paper come through the door. Just put them in the recycling bin.
