Re:Works in the UK too (Score 1)

I had a similar experience. Calls dropped off quite quickly and the few that came through generally degenerated into a paroxism of appologies when told I was on the register - these I believe were genuine errors. I did get a few calls claiming other members of my household had made contact some months before (bad luck guys, I have lived alone since my divorce many years ago) and these I reported for what it is worth. Mail preference also works reasonably well against targeted mail, but does nothing to help with the bulk-delivered "to the occupant" crap that the postal service deliver. I used to throw anything not personally addressed straight into the recycling but after throwing away by electoral registration form and community charge (property tax) discount form one year I have had to become a bit more selective.
