Lidl - and their massive leaflets

Just a rant...
We had a Lidl open in our local area and ever since I've had a little war with them going on. I have the mail preference service and prefer not to receive junk mail. Junk mail is annoying, but I can simply pop it into recycling so I don't get that bothered, however I do think they are a waste of valuable resources, time and find them invasive. I don't have a sticker on my door as I think they are ugly
Lidl seem to deliver half a tree on a regular basis and I've repeatedly asked them to stop, my email, by phone and on facebook but they STILL come! They are not a small leaflet they are an A4 brochure! Yes, I do recycle them, but recycling is nowhere near as good as not using at all. Any desire I ever had to shop at the shop has now been removed, and they now fill me with tiny, ineffectual rage!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Op, l feel a sticker may be the only way to go. Have a search on ebay etc, there are several available so you may find one that you wouldn't consider to be ugly.0

I'd much rather a Lidl leaflet, as I do shop there, than the masses of leaflets I get on a daily basis advertising Pizza places, which I've never used in my life & various Curry houses, often not even situated in my locality. Oh & not forgetting the estate agents leaflets begging to sell my property as they have waiting buyers desperate to buy.The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.
I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.0 -
I only live 10 minutes walk from the Lidl store and shop there every week. I've never had a single leaflet from them though. Unlike Iceland and the Coop who have never had so much as a penny out of me. I get their leaflets regularly. They go under the cat's litter tray.0

Lidl leaflets go from letter box to shredder, without delay.
LinYou can tell a lot about a woman by her hands..........for instance, if they are placed around your throat, she's probably slightly upset.0
