Cut out your name and address so they don't know you sent it and send it all back to one of the companies. Not only their but everybody else's junk mail too. Don't put a stamp on the envelope and they will have to pay a whopping big charge.

What about you, do you like receiving letters and miss not getting them on Bank Holidays?

Don't like letters Art as they are usually only bills !
Mind you, our poor postman is always knocking on the door practically every day. He always looks so relieved when we answer so he can get rid of the weight in his postbag.
We have been doing the bathroom and kitchen out and you know what it's like. Everything has to be bought new to match the new decor so have been going mad on Ebay, Amazon and Lakeland.

I would imagine at the moment, Bank holidays gives us both a break!

I always use the computer. It's much quicker (I'm a touch typist) and neater than my handwriting. When we moved to another part of the UK I used to send long letters to the pals I'd left behind in the Midlands giving them all the news, gossip and stuff and I was lucky to get a one page letter back.
