    Nah, chasing some kid down the road and pushing them off their bike is already more effort than the situation deserves. btw, mr dustbuster will get your barred from The Palms (only 2 years though).

    I agree with F5 Dave in that the signs do reduce the spam significantly. I also agree with Hitcher in that they are in no way binding on the delivery personnel. Going by Mom's OP and my own experiences, I would not be surprised if either Sky or their principal contractor have given instructions to ignore 'no junk mail' signage, as it is in no way binding. There is also the dubious defence once offered to me - "...but it's not junk mr..."


    The only thing making the signs work IMO is that firms believe that ill will from potential customers is a bigger risk, than the opportunity of delivering their advertising.

    Once a few, as maybe Sky tv, decide that it makes no odds either way, and if they make just one sale in a town then it is worth it, then the mailbox junk flow will start again.

    After all what you can you expect from a company that rings at dinner time week after week, after week, even after being told to stop?

    It's like that saying isn't it, 'One man's junk can stay the fuck out of my letter box'

    btw, 1/10 trol attempt, next time try and be a bit more subtle and perhaps even sense-making...

    TOP TIP: Simply unscrew your letterbox and relocate it inside the house! No more junk mail!
    ADDED BONUS: No more bills arrive either!

    4 times I've left the homecare catalog where they asked me to, for them to pick up. Once it was picked up. Now it goes directly to the rubbish bin.

    That comes under a different category. It's called "Junk junk mail"!

    Bayleys Real Estate have now begun to post their junk flyers in a stamped and addressed envelope which does bug me. I emailed them to tell them that they are wasting their time and money 'cos it all goes in the bin and they replied saying a polite "do not send to me" would suffice.

    Bayleys are awesome! I instantly know that if it is listed with them, then I can't afford it.

    Our posty drops the junk mail off because we live to far out for kids on push bikes,and even though I've asked him not to several times it just keeps mounting up.

    An then it stopped all of a sudden,,,after his own dumb teenager ignored the signs and crossed inside the electronic dog fence an got his arse bit.

    The cock rang me the next day and made a few stupid threats about ringing the police until I asked what his kid was doing delivering the mail, and was he a NZ post ? employie.

    Couple of day's later he fronted up and tried to get in my face until I said I'd ring his boss and ask the same question about his fucking kid being on my property when he wasn't a postie anyway .

    Then I picked up a couple of months worth of junk mail from the table on our front alcove and said,,here you can have this shit back as well.

    So the junk mail stopped but he doesn't wave anymore,,,I wonder why ?
