As you know, the Post Office delivers lots of Junk Mail and adverts. Because they make a lot of money out of it, they make it difficult for people to stop it (as is our right)
For example, I have been searching the Royal Mail website today trying to find out how to do it.
I looked on "Which" and they said (in 2006):
"...Which? extensively checked the Royal Mail website early on 30 August, we found no details of how to opt out. Since we contacted Royal Mail, it has highlighted these details on the front page of its site. A spokesman claimed the information was always on the site but failed to give a specific location for it."
However:
"You can opt out of 'door-to-door' unsolicited mail that Royal Mail distributes - items just addressed to 'The Occupier', with no address - by calling 0845 7950 950 or by emailing [email protected] "
or you can write to

they will send you a form to return (perhaps they hope you will forget to send it back)
junk mail which is sent by advertisers who know your name and address can be reduced by registering at http://www.mpsonline.org.uk/mpsr/mps_choosetype.html
I hope you find this useful.
