NTL? No thanks

We normally get our flyers delivered by the local freebie paper, along with the other half of the rainforest every day of the week.

Yeah, they're another culprit.

Actually since I moved last year I don't get ANY of the local free papers. I used to quite enjoy getting them, I don't know what the problem is where I am now, none of them seem to bother.

It can't be the lack of news, that's not stopping them round here

They don't hand them out, they post them through letterboxes. As I say, many companies do this. takeaways being quite common.

I can't believe nobody has ever heard of this practice. I sometimes feel like I'm on another planet in here....

Did you all believe that EVERY flyer that ever comes through your letter box was delivered by the postman?

the issue here is not the local takeaway but the ntl leaflets/flyers that people get through their doors. I know that all the ntl flyers/leaflets i get to my house are delivered by the postman as they have a prepaid postage on them as a give away

as for your last comment i would reply but i would get banned

We get a massive collection of flyers through the letterbox each week, usually delivered with the local freesheet newspaper. I have counted as many as twenty rolled together with the newspaper and held together by a rubber band. These usually include Aldi, Netto, Lidl, Morrisons, Asda, Homebase, B&Q, local fast food takeaways and good old NTL although NTL flyers are more usually delivered by the postman with no address or franking on them.

we get a 'free' local paper shoved through our door, weekly, with a load of promotional literature included, luckily we have a local re-cycling scheme, also ....

We get no ntl flyers.............

I actually get two different sorts of ntl stuff, some general stuff that gets delivered with the local rag which is not specific to anyone and some the postie delivers addressed to me

(seeing as how i have everything already it does seem a bit daft to be on the mailing list )

The door to door sales staff keep knocking on my door when I'm at work, pushing cards through inviting me to sign up for services I already have.

At one time their knocking sheets would exclude anyone that already had the services for obvious reasons.

LOL but does anyone get the door to door staff we get around here the majority are bent as a 3 bob note, even going as far as to invent names for people who owe NTL money Before i went on NTL Door knockers said to me and my other half "If its a problem with non payment we can put it under another name for you no questions asked" Unbeleivable. Now all i get is come back to NTL for you phone etc, Not sodding likely usually does the job.
