Letter: Unsubscribing to unwanted emails

THROUGHOUT the year, increasing substantially around “Black Friday” and then in the run up to Christmas, and now in the post Christmas “sale” period, I appear to be bombarded with unwanted emails.

I have decided to “unsubscribe” to the many companies with whom I appear to have given my email address to over the last year.

Since Boxing Day I have scrolled down to the bottom of these emails and I have already unsubscribed to over 20 of them.

I am finding this a truly cathartic experience and I am looking forward to all the extra time that I will have in 2026 when I no longer need to open, read and delete each one.
