We don't get too many of these, one a month or so. Get more things through the post with "Tomorrow's energy at today's prices" written on than leaflets.

But yeah they are annoying, if I wanted a new driveway/windows/loose woman then I'd go and find them myself!

Yeah all joking aside, it is seriously annoying. I'am sat here on emails etc most of the day and all I hear every 30 mins is my letterbox banging thinking it could be something semi important, then all I get is a leaflet talking about impotence (that one slipped into my back pocket ).

As a kid I used to do flyer deliveries for some pocket money from the local businesses. If someone gave me it back I would just redeliver it anyway, repeat until necessary, when you are a kid youve got nothing else better to do

They might think that is funny, but the person I spoke to earlier won't be back thats for sure. At least not armed with a flyer anyway

my cousin has a sign in his porch window that say "if you post menu's, flyers etc through my door i will call your boss and tell him somebody dumped a huge pile of these fliers in the bushes by my house.....at least then you can try to get a propper job." or something along those lines. he said it worked with some people but he still gets loads of junk.

Get one of those really small cameras and stick it to the outside of the door so it looks like a peep hole thing, and when you see someone come to the door with one you can open it before they shove it through and tell them to read the sign etc Might sound like a crazy idea, but it probably is

I do this with envelopes from credit cards and the like the that I don't want Last time I stuck a thing in advertising Bennett's bike insurance, an empty M&M's packet, and by complete coincidence the receipt for said M&M's.

2. What if you/your wife spill wine or anything that stains the carpet.
3. If your driveway starts to deteriate(sp?)
4. If you are caught short and no time for shopping or you fancy a fridy night treat.
5.Treat the lady in your life for once
6.Want to Move house/not got time to go to Estate Agents

1. Then I will get the yellow pages out.
2. Stain resistant, and I have tiled floors mainly where drinking takes place.
3. Under warranty.
4. I don't eat shitty take aways ever TBH, some of people cooking them make me ill.
5. She gets treated plenty, better than a £40 manicure
6. I wouldn't use a normal estate agent for the type of house I'm going for next, and I'd sell mine via the local one in the village.
7. I have plenty of gadgets and I wouldn't buy any shit from a catalogue.

The deliverers round here take it to the next level, we have a little sticker saying "no junk mail. .. etc ..etc" so a pregnant woman posted a indian leaflet through, my father ran out gave it her back ... and she kicked off asking if we ate food. Ha!

i work for royal mail, and were told to deliver to you even if youve got a note on your door unfortunately.ring royal mail and ask to opt out, you wont get any junk from the royal mail that way if your bothered.

i get some proper sarcy noted on my rounds though, i read have a giggle then dump a pizza leaflet through.
its what im paid for and managers will have a go at me if i come back with loads of leaflets.
