Junk mail through the post that is and was wondering if the recent hike in postal charges had anything tro do with it.

More likely to be the changes in marketing linked to social media! my emails are more clogged than my letter box these days!

I can't believe how many charity bags get stuffed through our letter box - I don't remember it like this pre-moving to Turkey...

Hardly get any post period. I finally got a Christmas card (only one of the 4 I have received) in April. If we see the PTT scooter now we take a photo!

I get a different pizza flyer every week. There's 97000 people live here and I reckon 96000 of them run pizza places.

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 do tend to get less junk mail through the post but I have seen a big increase in text and voice calls to my mobile telling me I can claim for my accident and for PPI. 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.
