Waste of time having a word with whomever's delivering as their faces change too often. A "no junk mail" note on the door doesn't work either.

(Sorry for OT rant)
Did you read the first link I posted after the email? Or any of them, cos it seems you just saw a link thought "nono" and replied

That's called "royal mail door to door", the direct marketing scumbags actually pay royal mail to deliver them (and royal mail accepts, I don't think they used to do this but it seems a result of commercialising the national post), if you get off the ones delivered by the postman will stop. If you get leaflets after that, call the takeaway, mention that you are receiving junk mailfrom them and ask for your address (not name) to be taken off their list citing the data protection act - they tell the pikeys on bikes not to drop their wads of leaflets over there anymore, at least in my experience.
