Household Hint
The postman, gliding out of the mist-wreathed woods behind my house, dismounted with a certain asperity from his bicycle: be could almost have been said to flounce. It was, he explained, the touting letters from football pool promoters which had made him late again; he had had to deliver as many as five or six at a time to cottages where in the normal course of events he seldom had to call. A lot of them don't want the things and get annoyed with me for bringing them,' he said. I tell them it's quite simple what they've got to do. Stick the flap down like they tell you and send the coupons back, only don't put a stamp on. It'll cost the firtn fivepence, and they won't bother you again.' I pass his advice on to any readers who may care to take it.
