Streetlife

So that's what that letter was. Mine went straight in the bin. Given I receive at least one a week, I just assumed it was yet another letter trying to sell me Virgin Media.

Yes, we received that letter as well. It was obviously junk mail, and I was about to put it in the bin when I noticed it was addressed 'To the lovely people living at [our address]!'

Curious as to which organisation would write something so nauseatingly creepy, I opened it. And then I threw it in the bin!

It is, of course, a commercial enterprise, as we can see from its backers. So anyone who signs up can confidently expect an increase in spam, junk mail and targeted advertising.

It's a nationwide site, which tries to have a forum for each community in the country.  Backed by Archant (private company who publish newspapers) and also by Shohet & Cie (private equity company).

Personally, I can't see the appeal of Streetlife when we've already got such a fantastic website dedicated to Marple.
