Inappropriate?

Today we got the CC magazine and one of the flyers was for a funeral plan?  Considering this is a leisure activity for enjoyment, the last thing one wants is to be reminder that oen day you will fall off the perch.  Surely flyers regarding our activity would be more appropriate instead of flyers for disabilities or death?  Are we all old codgers waiting at death's door like the CC seem to class us?

Not old codgers, just a data mine to be harvested for onward selling. We are in the information age after all. tongue-out

I don't think it's anything to get worked up about. I never read the flyers as they go straight in the bin.

As the majority seem to be 'elderly' innocent it seems quite appropriate to me. Not something to be ignored, there might be a bargain in there somewhere.

In fact we are looking into our own funerals at the moment smile don't want the expense to go to someone else or the way we wish to go.

To be honest, the loose advertising guff that comes with the magazine never registers with me - it just goes straight in the recycling bin (the mag itself follows shortly after!). But I might have a look now if it's likely to save me a few bob, tight wad that I am! tongue-out

These flyers come with most magazines, National Trust, Cycling Weekly, Great Outdoors etc.

We have a very quick glance, then into the recycling bin!

We do keep the magazine to read through, but flyers go straight in the recycling. Can't say I ever look at them, the same with those in other magazines. Although I can't say the content mentioned particularly bothers me. There are quite a few similar on the TV at the moment.

Like many others the flyers go straight in the bin without a second look followed not long after by the magazine.
