Register there and it should stop all that wasted paper being dropped through your door, unfortunately, it won't stop those annoying council tax bills...

This applies to the UK only of course...

Don't forget to register at tpsonline as well to stop the cold call telephone calls.

Sorry that I live in the Cold Part of the world

Very true, plus there's a nifty little code that prevents withheld numbers available too, it's *227# (to disable it's #227#)...

(For Virgin (formerly Telepest) customers in North London, West London, Langley, Windsor, Slough, Birmingham, North East England, Scotland & South West, the code is 1478 and 1479 to disable)

But there is a slight problem that some people can't call you, but tell them to dial 1470 before they dial your number...

There's loads more to play with here (and they're all totally legal):

I like junk mail. I put it in the crosscut shredder, makes great bedding for my daughters rabbitt.

If I had a log fire it'd make great firelighters, and you can get things to compresspaper into logs to burn on a fire, but as I haven't got a log or open fire, I can't do that so it's all going to waste....
