    Its just blanket random coverage most of the time, particularly the home stuff. Sometimes I am sure it comes as a result of summat you've bought online, which then sells your address on.....and on....and on.</p>

    I also get offers for viagra, pervy birds, dodgy rolex watches from foreign addresses with accents and dots over the top of nearly each letter, and at least 3 alerts per week from &quot;ebay&quot; about email accounts I have NEVER used with them.</p>
