Letter: In Brief

Sir: Does anyone else get irritated by the proliferation of unsolicited glossy pseudo-magazines sent out by almost every organisation with which we have dealings? Banks, utility companies, insurers and even local authorities - they are all sending us these expensively produced publications whether we like it or not.

I pay these organisations to provide a service, which I hope they will do with minimum fuss and lowest overheads. I do not pay them to provide me with my leisure-time reading (or, as in most cases, instant material for my paper-recycling bin).
