Strange catalogues that know my address

[LadyWord]

Johnnie, Toast or someone must have been selling my details but I'm a bit put out by the customer profile of me that's out there somewhere. Does everyone get piles of deeply unsuitable catalogues?

Peruvian Connection... wtf? Pay £££££ to look like a slightly out to lunch bohemian auntie who's been caught in a doily storm - like per una for the super-rich.

Wrap. Also Poetry, I get them mixed up. Endles slight variations on pale sludge-coloured linen-knitted "boxy"/shapeless tops and silky blouses, that look just about OK on gorgeous willowy model, but would make any normal woman look like a mad frump.

Joe Browns... bizarre witch outfits for 17-year-olds that I never see anyone wearing in RL - OK and the occasional nice cardigan.

I had a real selection recently - think I must have ticked/not ticked the wrong box at some point. One or two that I received were a little alarming and seemed to be aimed at someone of rather more mature years than I feel I am.

I send them all back without opening them with my address crossed out, the 'if undelivered please return to...' address circled and 'PLEASE REMOVE ME FROM YOUR MAILING LIST' written in very large letters across the front. It seems to have worked as I have gone from getting some sort of unrequested catalogue nearly every day to only getting the ones I have actually given my address to.

I should probably do that, but I think I actually like gawping at them in horror too much.

Boden sold my address after I expressly asked them not to.
I know it was them because I am Lady Cutteduppear with them, having not been able resist that particular drop down box.

So when catalogues arrive addressed to Lady so and so, I know it was Boden.

I like your plan lady cutteduppear that is a great way to keep tabs on who passes on your details.

I think I must be on every mailing list in the country.

The White Company sold/passed on my details and I got piles of Boden - and someone else - can't remember who.

I've emailed them and dared them to do that again. I've also registered with The Mail Preference Service (free) and I sent back all their heavy catalogues back to them in brown envelopes sans stamps.

It really puts me off dealing with companies when they behave like this.

I get all those

PLUS some sheepskin collection

Plumo which I do like but OMG the prices

I also got some sort of comfy clothing collection recently

Yes - my money's on the White Company as I did a slight experiment when I moved house as I only gave out my details to them. And lo and behold I get Joules, Crew Clothing, Celtic Sheepskin, Wrap and Poetry through the door (and that's just in the last week or so). Oh and Boden too.

These lists look familiar all of a sudden. I'm pointing the finger at Celtic Sheepskin. I have had the Boden catalogue for years without getting all of this junk.
However, I was given some Celtic Sheepskin slippers by mail order (as a present).
Round about the time of the Royal Wedding,it was mentioned that Party Pieces could generate substantial income by selling customer lists. Food for thought!

wrap, poetry and pure began to appear in my mail after i ordered from boden. it was definitely johnnie as i am in the states and havent ordered from any other uk company recently. completely agree with the poster who decried boxy slouchy neutrals - expensive mad frumpery too.
