Our council do it in A5 small envelopes , usually 2 trays full, but the neighbouring council which overlaps in our office use A4 filled with booklets etc. plus they give out a monthly newssheet insividually addressed. RIP more trees.
Why are lino's paid full-time ??

Last year, they came to our office on a sunday night,
i work nights on the CSS machines, typically, we would normally get 250-300 trays of mail, that night we got nearly 530 and there was just the 2 of us on (tuesday night onwards we get an assist) :cry
nightmare doesn't come close to describing that night, my luck being how it is, i'm pretty much guaranteed to be on when they come in this year !

I don't really see why they need to be sending out council tax in C4 envelopes, seems a waste of money. Ours are only C5 and theres still loads of extra leaflets and extra crap in there. They have ebilling now so we don't get every house anymore.
