Nice to see you guys doing something to help the customers.

Regarding "JUNK MAIL" very often you get prepaid envelopes with some of it, so put it all back in the prepaid envelope & send it back to them!!

I remember a few years ago Geoff Maltby from Repro Magic had a wonderful way of dealing with it, & I will share with you his remarkable secret (I hope I am not breaking the "Magicians Code" here!! by discussing a magicians secret!)

If Geoff had persistant junk mail that he couldn't stop, he would send them a TELEPHONE DIRECTORY (he keeps all the old ones) He would put the address on the parcel but no postage, & shove it in one of those big letter boxes that you get outside the sorting office. When it turned up, the company would have to decide if they wanted to take it in & PAY FOR IT or not, of course they would always (probably) pay for it, not knowing what it was, wouldn't you?........

All good wishes

Mike

That is brilliant, i must remember that.

Oh, I get very narked when my stuff doesn't arrive (especially if there's no strike and I've waited the amount of time I should have done). My point was specifically about hassling shops when there's an extremely well-publicised strike on.

Unless...you love being hassled, Mike! You read it here first folks, Mike Danata loves to hear from his customers when their sponge balls don't drop (:wink:) through the letterbox on time.



Only kidding.

Still no parcels today, maybe Saturday will bring me more luck!

Two books arrived today but no parcels.........yet.

Maybe Keith's area was on strike and that delayed it a bit.

More than likely, I'm supping more of the ol' Italian liquid anaesthetic to pass the time until Monday...

i am sipping a nice glass of Jack Daniels with lots of ice and eating a pizza

If I sup any more I'll be in the flink and pluppy thread.... (hic)
