I tried that with the Matalan catalogues that kept coming through the
door after I split up from my g/f in 2001. They never took any notice
about me writing "R.T.S. Deceased!" on the front and sending them back,
and later on they included a lingerie section so I continued to let
them arrive :)

RIP to Graham from me too. I did a quick Google for some of our posts
and was reminded that he was the Graham who had a partner who worked in
a shop selling Sky+ and TiVo, a heated debate which went on for some
time back in June.

And also the post about the two 28" widescreen TVs delivered by Argos
last November, where he disagreed with some things I said but agreed
with others, the latter including my gripe about the Argos not using
health and safety as a reason not to take a TV upstairs, but the fact
they never even looked beyond the first room to ascertain such a risk.

Can't beat a good heated debate. It may be infuriating at the time, but
at least that means the adrenaline is pumping and you know you're
alive...
