A Surprising Election Leaflet
I have got quite a bit of electoral junk mail this election, but one today was different.
It was the usual A4 or A5 well-printed flyer, from a party I have voted for in the past, but my name and correct address was actually printed on the glossy paper.
Admittedly, they had used last year’s register with my incorrect name, but that was understandable, as the register was only finally corrected a couple of weeks ago.
Perhaps, we need a law to say that nothing goes through a letter box, unless it is properly addressed.
I’d probably get about four letters a week.
The Anonymous Widower 
Our MP occasionally writes to all voters, on House of Commons papers, letters posted with our actual names on the envelope and mail merged into the letter. Dread to think what that costs!

This one wouldn’t have cost a fortune, as the leaflet was printed in one go by a laser printer and there was no envelope. The biggest cost was probably the delivery by Royal Mail, as it was sorted. Or it could have been leaflet dropped, with all leaflets printed in order.

Yes, your was much more economical than our MP’s one.
