Pub chat - The worst type of dialogue to substantiate. It's also unhelpful to level accusations in such circumstances as I'm sure you'll agree.
funny aren't you

anyhoo ,they get 1.67p per item of unaddressed mail (leaflets)and they aren't allowed to refuse to deliver them

We get paid 1.67 pence per item of unaddressed mail, an amount that hasn’t changed in ten years. It is paid separately from our wages, and we can’t claim overtime if we run past our normal hours because of these items. We also can’t refuse to deliver them. This junk mail is one of the Royal Mail’s most profitable sidelines and my personal contribution to global warming: straight through the letterbox and into the bin.
