I once even took the trouble to look up the law on this and, because you didn't ask for them, you are under no obligation to send them back. Like you, I used to feel guilty about the idea of using them! Here nobody bothers with Xmas cards - which is very miserable of them - so we don't get this problem.Welshcakes Limoncellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209759237794290941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17218624.post-9438146538234417282007-10-30T04:28:00.000+00:002007-10-30T04:28:00.000+00:00You are projecting the words on your forehead to a...You are projecting the words on your forehead to all of cyberspace.

Besides I do Unicef cards. <BR/>What really annoys me is the charities I do support once or twice a year who send me letters monthly and all I can think of is they are wasting part of my money on postage and envelopes for ten months of the year.jmbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13563252743976699923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17218624.post-32609905800622031382007-10-29T23:10:00.000+00:002007-10-29T23:10:00.000+00:00Why don't you write back to them telling them what...Why don't you write back to them telling them what you think of their moves?<BR/><BR/>You could use the tiny envelope for that!!<BR/><BR/>Far as I know the law regarding unsolicited goods is that you must write to them informing them you don't want their stuff. It is then up to them to arrange delivery back to their address. If they don't do this (within a "reasonable" time... I can't remember how long or whether it is just "reasonable" time, the stuff is yours to keep - charity or not.<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry but I really don't see how such emotional blackmail can possibly be construed as "charity"...Gledwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09308172310486574510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17218624.post-39767086545781140922007-10-29T22:51:00.000+00:002007-10-29T22:51:00.000+00:00I thought you meant it was a charity for victims o...I thought you meant it was a charity for victims of foot and mouth disease...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17218624.post-84361634167756961652007-10-29T22:11:00.000+00:002007-10-29T22:11:00.000+00:00Hmm- I have bought a bunch of charity raffle ticke...Hmm- I have bought a bunch of charity raffle tickets recently that have been sent to me.<BR/><BR/>Like you say "sucker" in large letters. <BR/><BR/>I like to support things where I can but sometimes it just seems to be everyone all the time.Furtheronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11903753972242964410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17218624.post-67778005082931076942007-10-29T21:51:00.000+00:002007-10-29T21:51:00.000+00:00We get our fair share of unsolicited items from ch...We get our fair share of unsolicited items from charities too.
