Allegedly, the Royal Mail has suspended a postman for telling people living on his round how to opt out of the "Door to Door" service that delivers unaddressed advertising material with your post. Wouldn't it be a shame if the publicity around this inspired a few million people to email optout@royalmail.co.uk with their postal addresses and ask for the form to opt out?

It could be that he's been suspended not for telling people about the opt out but for sending his own unsolicited mail...

Also, of course, he's only been suspended, not sacked. Presumably his key motivation was that if half his round opted out, he'd have pounds less to carry each day.
