By the way, until you mentioned it I hadn't realised that Saturday and Sunday had early mornings.

I used to get cross with motorcyclists who do that. Now I've joined their ranks, I find that the off switch isn't the easiest thing to operate and there are other things to concentrate on.....Andrea S wrote:Motorists driving along oblivious that their indicators are still flashing.

Quite right - and also http://www.dmachoice.org for rubbish delivered by others. Please note that these opt-outs only last for two years, so you'll need to diarise to renew them.Manoverboard wrote:If the Postman brings it then you can ' Opt Out ' of these deliveries.Silver_Shiney wrote:Don't get me started on leaflets that come through the door, despite a prominent sign saying I don't want them.Quizzical Bob wrote:Enclosures.

That link is for addresses in the USA - the nearest equivalent for the UK is MPSSilver_Shiney wrote:Quite right - and also http://www.dmachoice.org for rubbish delivered by others.
Sorry about that - I was in a rush and obviously picked the wrong one. MPS is for addressed mail - there is a Direct Marketing Association for leaflet drops which operates an opt-out service. Email your name and address to yourchoice@dma.org.uk. Seehttp://www.stopjunkmail.org.uk/guide/default.php for further tips.david63 wrote:That link is for addresses in the USA
