We don't do our local coucil one now - we were undercut on price by a weekly free paper - and that one in turn lost most of it's leaflets to yet another free weekly - it's a paper eat paper world out there !!!
We wish to serve - but we will not be servile

Question is how long before it's us delivering the free papers?
It's a possibility, we used to deliver a paper for the Mayor of London under Livingstone. Johnson scrapped them soon after he was elected, the only good thing he's done.
This time, we won't deliver any newspapers unless they come pre-wrapped in cellophane. Your hands are destroyed by the ink that comes off 'em otherwise. Lessons learned, and all that. And only if there's a fairer, more sensible, Door 2 Dustbins agreement.
