I've had two cards through my letterbox addressed to people who have never lived here and are not neighbours, but to this house ie not mis-delivered.

Do I stick them back in the post with "not ASC Towers" scrawled on the front? Or open them in the vain hope that there is a return address? Or just stick them in the bin?

Hang them up with your others and treat them like a new Facebook 'friend'

If there is a return address on the rear of the envelope then cross your address out, mark it as "not at this address" and pop it back in the post box. If there is no address, then open it up and hang it on the piece of string everybody stretches across the room.

At work the cards have been coming through for about ten days now, think they may have peaked today. But we handle a large amount of cards being sent to people who have moved away, or even died, and cards being sent with half the address missing or you know to be the wrong address. Wonder why people send cards to "friends" where they don't even know where they live, can't be that close friends. All they end up doing is wasting money on a card and postage.

Chances are if their was cash in them that the postie's already got his hands on it - bin them
You silly silly man.

I've opened them. No address and just signed with first names. They are the only two cards I have received so far, so they are indeed going up on the bit of string.
