Pizza shop leaflets pushed through your door

[HST Power]

Another leaflet I forgot to mention was beer leaflets. They come a lot as well.

 

[Greenback]

Beer leaflets? What are these please? Do they get you drunk?!!!

Is it like those silly perfume/aftershave-scented magazine adverts, except you lick it to taste the beer..?

I'm sorry to dissapoint you, but no they don't!

It's just garbage from Sainsbury's, 2For1 on packs of Fosters, that sort of thing.

I have a particular bug to bear with Sainsburys regarding their range of ales. My nearest branch recently withdrew Deuchars IPA (bottled and tinned) after realising that at £2.17 a bottle and £5.69 for 4 tins they'd never sell any. Is there such a phenomenon as constructive removal, á la constructive dismissal?

In its place there's the usual naff offerings from John Smiths, Boddingtons and Belhaven Best :roll:

The next nearest supermarket is a Co-Op, which is an absolute rip-off for an even narrower range of products overall. Thankfully there are a couple of off-licence independent retailers which stock weird wonderful and unknown local and foreign beers to get sloshed on during a weekend

Oh, how disappointing! I was excited for a while!

Here's to the day they start posting free packs of Fosters in the letter box!

You havn't seen my local Co-Op then, they don't stock any non-horrible beers or drinks, as apposed to my local spar, they seem to have 2m of wall fridges dedicated to decent ales with 4 for £6 usually running.

Either way, I'd like to see a beer leaflet, but proberbly more anoying than any other leaflet is either the political ones, or the residential team from one of the american marketing companies knocking (I used to work for one, theres 14 in Greater Manchester) and they all overlap on their pitches, I've had the same campaign round 5 times now, each time they've been pitched by me, does put them off a bit when my clipboard comes out.

Leaving aside the numbers of these leaflets I get,my chief complaint is the people delivering them walking across my front lawn as a short cut between houses. I've gone out and had a go at one or two of them and said 'next time do you mind not walking on my lawn please'? None of them have ever said anything or argued back. USE THE BLOODY PATH,that's what it's there for!

My son used to do pizza house deliveries...it is a simple thing just to place a note on your letterbox saying NO JUNK MAIL OR LEAFLETS PLEASE.

You must be lucky. My mum tried the same thing and it didn't make a blind bit of difference, I assume because the people delivering the leaflets didn't understand English. This would never be allowed if we still had an empire.

I only ever eat take-aways when I'm out having a few beers in town so local takeaway leaflets get binned. No-one buys a donner kebab sober anyway.

I asked my assistant and she informed me that a "kebab" is a savoury meal eaten mainly at night and is constructed using reformed "meat". Do people seriously eat them?

What really annoys me is when people deliver these leaflets and trample all over your lawn. I politely asked one guy a few days ago to use the path and he completely ignored me. I doesn't bother me if it is Indians delivering the leaflets, it's when they start answering the telephones that I go crazy!

Perhaps for the benefit of the monoglots (illegal or otherwise) a few minutes on Google Translate to get it printed in Bengali, Thai, Chinese, Bangladeshi should get the message across

Seriously though, I know nobody should have to resort to that to keep their doormat clear of junk. In fact I can just see some cheeky so and so stuffing several of the same leaflet just as a two-fingers to the householder.

As I live in a tenement building with a main entry door, I would like to know which of my neighbours is letting this vermin through the door.

Only one way to find out. It involves an AK47, strong coffee and a long night waiting at the front entrance!

I hate these leaflets. If it was just Pizza, but the same places are offering fish and chips, Kebab etc...

 

[HST Power]

Fish and chips!

The only ones I do read!
