Question 2 is wrong as delivering D2D on Saturdays is not banned - its just not planned to happen but with agreement with your manager on a busy week you can deliver the residual on Saturdays. :no no

WRONG! Saturday was the day no such items could be delivered. Posties don't deliver mail on Sundays. Royal Mail and rivals such as UK Mail and TNT deliver some 17.5bn items of unsolicited mail a year - 78% to households, 22% to businesses.

Question 3 is also wrong - Direct mail is that addressed to the customer Direct :d'oh! just as per this definition
Direct mail: a direct marketing technique involving the delivery of promotional material to named individuals at their homes or organisational premises.
WRONG! The senders like to call it "direct mail", and the professional association is called the Direct Marketing Association.

After those 2 I scored 5 out of 7.

Actually if you got 5 and the 2 you got wrong are the ones in my post you actually probably got 100% correct. The BBC have got 2 answers wrong.
