Post by: Highlander on June 20, 2012, 13:11:50 PM: Junk mail through the post that is and was wondering if the recent hike in postal charges had anything tro do with it.

Please beware if you are filling charity bags.I filled one' charity' bag full of clothes ready to put out for collection. I was checking on the leaflet for the collection date and read the small print at the bottom.The clothes are collected and sold by a company and are then sold on, with an unknown percentage of money being donated to charity. I ended up taking the clothes direct to the nearest charity shop.

I have tried to ban certain calls and numbers but to no avail. Message to mobile phone providers.. The first one to come up with a fail safe way of call barring certain numbers and withhelds for the mobile network will make a killing.
