May I plead with those who control the poor foot soldiers who stuff unwanted material through the letterboxes of households all over the area.

Could they please ensure that the distributors can read and understand the English language? Having been troubled for ages by almost daily deliveries of all kinds of printed materials, which have been going straight into my recycling wheelie bin, I have stuck above my letterbox: No leaflets, no circulars and no brochures.

It doesn’t seem to have made much difference. I still get everything from estate agents promoting their services right across a range of products and services to the best pizza in town.

I have no financial interest in the Dorset Echo but I would tell such controllers to advertise in that publication. They will surely get better results!
