Why are these companies so stupid
 
I've just received a letter through the Post from Corgi, addressed to the Alpha Boiler Owner, trying to sell me boiler home care plan. Does nobody tell these people that properties like mine are not owned but rented through either councils or housing associations, think there may be a hint when they are reaming out these letters to nearly every house on Mallard Place, who all had these boilers fitted at the same time and are maintain yearly by the council or Association, surely a red light would flash even with computer generated mail

Sounds like they are using the word "corgi" to give itself an official sounding address.just think of the mountain of paper that will have to be recycled if this is across the country.

Junk mail and TV ads are part of capitalist consumerism.
We survived without them in the 50s - we could again.

The orange juice was crap, as was the milk, bloody warm, and as for cod liver oil, well you know what you can do with that:rolleyes:
