Choochoo Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Hi everyoneJust an observation, we thought we got a lot of junk mail in the UK, but since we moved to France have been astounded by the amount of junk mail we recieve !Does the facteur give everybody elses to us or is this the norm.Good job they have recycling points over here.

SaligoBay Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Absolutely normal, but beginning to be recognised as a real problem.Look at other houses as you wander round. Many have a sign saying "Pas de pub SVP" or similar, you could try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard-R Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 The norm i think. Our poor postie gives out more leaflets and free papers than real mail. Plus the normal run of the mill junk mail.All good fuel at this time of year though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diana Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Call me sick or what, but I was so happy when I recieved my first bit of French juck mail, it seemed so much more interesting than the stuff I reveice in the UK and made me feel as though I had truely arrived. Time has moved on and now it all just goes into the waste recycle. What a waste of trees, time, labour and resourses.Diana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loiseau Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Some Mairies have stickers that you can put on your letterbox, saying to the postman something like "épargnez ma boite aux lettres"...Trouble is that in that armful of weekly "pub", there is sometimes the odd missive from the Mairie about an event, which I would miss if I had stopped everything...Angela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
