Elizabeth "gets off arse" shocker.

Well, not really. More that I realised that something I thought was going to involve some effort turns out to be possible by filling in an on-line form :)

I now belong to the Mailing Preference Scheme. So, within a few months, most of the junk mail I get should have dropped off. In particular, I hope the Royal Bank of Scotland will stop asking me three times a week if I want a credit card.

Anyone else interested:

What I can't see is any (legitimate) way to tell them that you want somebody else's direct mail to stop coming to your address, as they no longer live there.

The printed form with which I registered did have that as an option; you could try requesting a pack.

I lived in a flat in Oxford where a free nappy would arrive periodically for the previous occupant (or her child). We never did think of a suitably droll use for them.
