Sir, - In response to the letter from F.R Shea on the subject of junk mail, may I suggest a solution - borrowed from the Swedes. While travelling and working in Sweden, I noticed that many Swedes put a short notice on their letter boxes saying "Ingen recklam, tack!", which means "No advertising, please!"
This, I believe, has been very effective. I hope that our postmen and postwomen would be as obliging as their Swedish counterparts. If everyone did this, then businesses who are ultimately responsible for this junk would soon get the message! Yours, etc,
Hosdon Bay, Athlone.
