What is the daftest or most pointless thing you ever recieved through your letterbox ?
For me the first one that jumps to mind is a mobile phone bill for 19p, sent via 2nd class post, which at the time cost 19p.

Morning MayA,
Daft but true, it was one of the earlier type contracts - paid a year up front - free calls from friday night to monday morning, so I hardly used it during the week, wasnt needed.

Ah I see Stirlingsilver

I do remember that I once received a bill for 14p .... from a credit card company, and when I rang to enquire about it, they said it was just an 'estimated' amount ........ Pardon, I said, I don't think I'd be buying anything on a credit card for 14p rolling on the floor laughing

I should think the phone call cost more than the amount on the bill!

HEHE, Hey May-ay, a short while ago I rummaged around and found that phone, yep I still got it, its about half the size of a paving slab, or maybe the full size of one cereal box.

I have no mobile by choice but remember seeing those things
By comparsion with what has been developed since a housbrick would be as heavy, useful as a defence weapon and cheaper as I have been told they are collectors items now and quite costly. laugh laugh

Ten takeaway menus a day come through my letterbox. In fact, it's got so bad now that I just keep my small paper recycling bin under the letterbox ready to catch them.
