It was a good letter that. Who really wants to bother with five separate door to doors? Maybe if each one was one small leaflet, and they were all in one envelope. Some we get are ridiculous. Daft shapes, too many pages, too big too thick, really make the job harder.

On the back of the placcy bag it came in it says "WIN A LUXERY GAS BARBECUE

Barbecue Sauces
Open up now!


What if, like me, you live in a council flat - where are you going to put said Bar-b-que ( other than e-bay, obviously )? And what are the council going to say about you storing a gas appliance on your property, without the gas safety valve they require by law?!!!! :d'oh! :d'oh! :d'oh! :d'oh!

C'mon you Courier muppets, just because you and your chinas can afford a nice middle / upper middle class lifestyle, don't mean the rest of us can - howabout something useful for all of us! While you're at it, sort out the CSMA - I joined for cheaper car insurance, and get 5 cheaper prices after 10 minutes on Confused.com! :arrrghhh
I don't suppose your mouth bleeds every 28 days, does it?

Mail delivery; those that can, do, those that can't, MANAGE!

I usually go to comparethemeerkat.com :chuckle

It might be a better idea to offer some Jack Daniels rather than a BBQ (TBH I prefer Southern Comfort :nervous ).

I doubt there's a lot of actual cheese in the average Dairylea......so I propose as an alternative ".....more cheese than under Leighton & Crozier's foot long foreskins."








Well, can anyone disagree with me that they're a pair of tight fisted w*nkers? :angel

Come on everyone. There's no need to keep posting these personal insults. I know they're far from popular, but it's starting to go too far.

:silenced :silenced :silenced
There's no need to feel silenced: There's plenty to criticise about them, without needing to get personal. :hmmmm
