    I'd get a load of old lead flashing from a builder and use chunks of that. It'd fit in the envelope but weighs a lot.:cool:

    Did that work? I had that idea before and thought I had discovered a way to send free post but was told it wouldn't work because apparently you have to pay to get back something sent without a stamp.

    Yea it worked :p

    I've heard that too, maybe its only for packages, or maybe they just weren't arsed knocking on a door for 32c, or maybe they have no procedure in place for such a scenario.




    My cousin when sending post to friends, he would rub the stamps on soap, and stick them on that way, and then you can slide the stamp off when you get the letter, of course, its possible it could come off in transit, but he did it a few times and it worked. (in the time before email!).



    I'm also a fan of saving the freepost return envelopes my bank send me suggesting loans/etc, they are often address to the bank manager of your branch, I use them when I have a cheque I need lodged to my account.

    lads, if ye get junk mail, just do what I do.

    put the junk mail in an envelope, and post it back to the sender without a stamp.

    They will get a little note through their letterbox that says "we are holding an item for you at the local post office blah blah blah". They then have to get someone to go to the post office to collect it, they will have to pay to get the envelope, and when they open it, all they will see is their original flyer with the words "ha ha ha you suck balls" written on it.

    Regarding my spam. only 2 items today down from my average of 30.

    Apologies for the thread moving confusion folks. This thread shouldn't have been highlighted when I was moving another thread. :o

    Sharon Osbourne said in an interview that if anyone said anything about her family that she didn't like she used to poo in a box and send it to them

    I wonder how junk mail people would react if a poo was sent to them?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,243 ✭✭✭✭Jesus Wept


    I'd wager they wouldn't like it.

    Suppose at least there'd be less need for scrubbing the toilet if everyone starts squatting over envelopes instead. Just as well they don't use waterproof envelopes or they could get some truely horrid... I'm stopping the thought right there for the good of everyone!

    Careful you dont get a paper cut when wiping...

    Right so...

    if you do send off some post junk mail back in a free post envelope or box... post it here in this thread.

    But please for the love of god, don't name the company as this could probably get boards in trouble!

    Now, where is that old cheese cake that ive been saving.....? :p
