I thought I had a story for the super soaraway Sun so I sent their
Editor unsolicited materials costing £ 100 with a request "please
return these materials" if they were of no use to them, using Special
Delivery.

The Sun Newsdesk threw away my materials. They refused to communicate
with me in any way.

Do I have a Small Claim for £ 100 against the Sun for the materials I
sent them, given that these were unsolicited, but I requested their
return and it would have been cheap for them to send them back?

I am really disappointed with the Sun's behaviour and am tempted to
sue them in any case.

A catalogue company salesperson once put a catalogue through my
letterbox with instructions to return it if I did not want to buy
anything. I chucked it in the bin together with all the other junk
mail. An irate person called a few days later telling me that I would
have to pay for the catalogue. I told him to piss off before I called
the police.

I expect the Sun will take a similar view to myself wrt unsolicited
material.


I had a Betaware one put in my letterbox despite a large notice saying not to put in junk mail. I filled their order form in with a pretend name and ordered £300 worth of their rubbish. Loadsa free fun when the guy tried to deliver it.
