I received a regular monthly magazine today. Slipped inside were no less than sixteen different flyers, posters and pieces of unsoolicited advertising material.
They all went straight into the paper recycling box. I wonder why advertisers waste so much paper on initiatves which irritate so many people.

Bit old hat isn't it really? Most people look on line to find what they want not leaf through piles of shiny rubbish. It's telling when my local shop has a bin for magazine buyers to tip the flyers and stuff straight into... :?

I've seen quite a few shops with bins beside the magazines too...and I use them. I've never had as many as that inside a magazine though Primrose!

The ones we get through the door are takeaway food shop flyers...every day, there are kebab shop and pizza shop ones, which go straight into the recycling bin too.
Happy with my lot
