Post should refuse to deliver?

My poor postman has just had to open a five bar gate then close it after him, walk 100 yards up to my house then walk 100 yards back open the gate and close it again. JUST to deliver a leaflet from some toilet roll company that says "wipe your bum, change the world". Not one other piece of mail. What a total waste of time and effort for the poor postman!

You can easily opt out of royal mail delivering the junk mail they are paid to deliver. Search "royal mail opt out" and download the form.

More info here: stopjunkmail.org.uk/guide/door-to-door-opt-out.html

Also fill out the MPS/TPS opt outs.

My friend writes on her junk mail "return to sender" and puts in back in the letter box.
I might do the same 🤫

Why do you feel sorry for him when he had the option of using the mailbox on the gate but chose not to?

I believe the junk mail industry helps prop up the Royal Mail. I would scrap it too, it makes me irrationally angry.
Correct

Delivering junk mail is a service Royal Mail offer now. They don't advertise it as Junk Mail delivery though!
This. RM are paid a lot of money for this, so don't feel so sorry for the postie.
