    It's ONE, there are many more out there in many fields.

    No need to shout. I didn't say different

    It should still have details somewhere on the packaging.

    I think that's a UK requirement not applicable to Ireland

    Does anyone remember those unsolicited “charity” cards from foot and mouth artists.? We used to get them years ago. We were so poor we used them and never had the money to send back? My Mum said years later that she knew it was a scam....that was a lie!

    I volunteer for a local dog rescue charity and 100% of money raised from Christmas cards that we are selling go to us.

    Unsolicited goods, fairly strong legislation on them here. Suspect that's why I haven't seen a set in years

    And I still maintain it should have the details on the package.

    I got them this year and last. Threw them back in the post as 'unsolicited mail'

    I spotted this type of thing a couple of years back on the cards I used to buy so now I buy cheaper cards and just donate the difference (plus a bit normally) to the charity directly. Means I get cards I really like (often don't like the charity ones), the charity gets more money directly and everyone is happier :)
