WOODFORD GREEN: Firm threatened with legal action over sex help leaflets

http://www.thisislocallondon.co.uk/news ... _leaflets/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

AN 80-YEAR-OLD is threatening to sue a Woodford Green firm that has been sending him unwanted sexual help for five years.

Great grandfather Edward Coleman-Hughes had not received any post for a week before today but a postman fought his way through 2ft of snow to deliver the lewd literature.

Mr Hughes has sought advice from the Office of Fair Trading over post he regularly receives every fortnight advertising penis enlargements and other sexual help treatments.

The Guardian reported the story in February and since then Mr Hughes has continued to receive the packages, which are addressed to Thomas Myers who used to live at Mr Hughes' home and was 94 when he died five years ago.

Mr Hughes said: "There is a limit as to how much stuff you can get in the bin and by sending the packages back I am trying to make a point."

Mr Hughes, who lives in East Rainton in County Durham, received an envelope today from Elite Fulfillment, which is based in Liston Way, Woodford Green, according to the envelopes sent to Mr Hughes.

The retired journalist and lecturer said: "I have not seen the postman since last Thursday but he made it here this morning with this stuff."

Mr Hughes has written a missive which he will post when he next sends back a batch of the envelopes.

He said he has sent at least 50 envelopes back but has plenty more in his home.

The former Harlow College teacher said his letter to Elite Fulfillment says: "Will you brainless morons cease sending to my address or I will sue for harassment.

"I have told you many times that Mr Myers has been dead for many years.

"You are moronic and evil."

Mr Hughes, who was widowed 10 years ago, said he certainly isn't interested in what he is being sent and he doubts Mr Myers was.

The Guardian tried to contact the company this afternoon at the address given but was told it is merely a postal address.

The lady who answered the door would not put the Guardian in touch with the business owner.

Those lists tend to be made up from people who have responded to their literature before, maybe he did want some 'adult' equipment and has just forgotten about it.
Anyway, just put it in the bin/recycling bin/shredder instead of writing to the Guardian and complaining :roll:
