The Courier

Post by Wullie10 »

When filling in my pension form there was a question. Do you wish to continue receiving a copy of The Courier ? I ticked No. Needless to say one landered on my doormat yesterday. Anyone else had this "" problem "" or will it stop eventually?

lmao.

Find yourself a return to sender sticker, tick refused and send it back. I've not seen one since I did that. (Aside the ones I deliver to others.)

I actually did return it for over a year but it made no difference , I thought with retirement it would stop but not so far.

Does it really matter? Stick it in the recycling bin with the rest of the scrap paper and try and focus on something more interesting.

It doesn't matter one bit. I just wondered why they gave an option then ignored it. Why bother with a forum at all? I'm not worried one bit if someone has a problem/question about their pensions. Why should any of us bother at all ? We're all retired now , it's a dog eat dog , I'm all right Jack mentality at Royal Mail today anyway , so what does anyone care about anything other than themselves?
There's only one real contributor to the pensions section anyway , and I don't know why he bothers using all his time to help people only interested in themselves. Sorry I asked.

huh, I returned it once and that was it, not one since. Perhaps doing it during the strike season made a difference.

Me? :hmmmm

I don't want to use up too much of my time on here, but for the moment I still get some pleasure from it. Although I do wonder why I bother sometimes!

I'm sure there will come a time when I do decide to disappear. :thumbup

As for the Courier, I suspect there's a cut off date and you left too late to opt out of the latest riveting edition.

Returned it to sender about a year ago , haven’t received one since , everyone should do it , they might start to realise their propaganda rag isn’t wanted.

Stick a refused label on it & chuck it back in the box, they stop sending them after a bit, I did the same with my Christmas stamps.
