They do the rounds. The pizza guy leaflets the road, then the next day the Chinese guy leaflets his takeaway then not to be outdone the guy from the Indian takeaway does it round here  |

It's big business these days. Though the ROI is tiny, something like 0.8% will generate any kind of enquiry.
The thing that grinds my gears is that Iget a 'charity' bag for clothes etc through the door anything up to 3 or 4 times a week. Closer inspection reveals however, that's it's noit a charity - it's a business who donate a % of their profits to the charity. I find it very misleading and am surprised it's not illegal.
This is different to 'chuggers' on the street, who I have no problem with, despite the companies behind them making a lot of money every time someone signs up.

I have a HUGE problem with chuggers!
Did you know if you sign-up to donate to a charity via a chugger it will be well over a year (minimum) before the charity actually benefits from any of your weekly/monthly donations.
Robbing cunts the lot of them! |

Yes, I do.
But the reasons I don't have a problem with it are too long & involved to get into here.
But it comes down to the charities involved getting a lot of money they otherwise would not have.

You missed out the word 'eventually'.
In the meantime my £2 per week is not being spent on immunising a well, adopting a mosquito net or concrete for a goat. |

I keep mine in a huge pile all over the porch floor so the when people step into my house they skid, bypass the hallway and end up straight in the kitchen |

get lots of flyers from fast food places shoved through the letter box.
i just tie them all together and put the whole lot through one of the places so when they open up in the morning they struggle to open the door because of the amount.
