I bought my Mum a plum tree for Christmas online. Very nice it was too, by all accounts (I haven't even seen the thing yet). It was from a garden centre in Exeter called Dobie's. Who have, subsequently, e-mailed me every fucking day with further offers. At what point, now we're well into my seventh month without any further purchases, will they give up?

Aahahahhaha.
Never. Never, ever ever ever ever. Unless you go online and unsubscribe, which you'll find at the very bottom of the small print. But otherwise never.
We know you. We know what you buy. And we know where you live.
Bahahahhahahahaa.

Not necessarily
I’d be happy to translate or test it for you. It isn’t as if I’d really notice another Italian email I don’t read (though the chances that anything you would subscribe to would be massively more interesting than the stuff I subscribed to while working there are ridiculously high).

All I can say is never borrow your phone to anyone gullible enough to believe that the spambots on Russian dating apps are real people. They're impossible to block - either using temporary addresses or spoofing your own email.

Hillary's - the blinds/curtains people: I spent a sh*tload of money on same for my flat a few years back, and to this day receive at least three leaflets/brochures a week from them.
Other than that, Vanquis are very persistent in sending me application forms for their not-very-competitive credit cards. And Jackson's, the estate agents are always enquiring as to when I'm going to let my place out. They can do one, as well.
In terms of emails, Paperchase, Ask Pizza and some music thing that I don't recall ever having seen, let alone read.
('Lend', rather than 'borrow'.)

Never, ever, do one of those on line surveys. Within minutes, nay, seconds, your inbox will be inundated with offers for cheap loans, credit cards, dating sites and the chance for a free 14 day trial of an iron lung. You will spend hours cleaning this crap off and hitting "unsubscribe". Don't get as much as I used to but they still get through.
Couple weeks ago I decided I needed a haircut and as I was in the Wal-Mart lot I decided to use the hairdressers there. I have a usual barber but he is the other side of town and I was pushed for time. Anyway, I asked for a haircut and was asked for my email address. "Why?" "Er, we need it." "Why? "So that we can contact you." "Why? I need a haircut,not a liver transplant." "Er..." I left. Had my hair cut the next day at my usual place.
Beware. This information is then sold to who knows whom so that you can get more crap through your inbox.

I once used a parking service at Gatwick. I spent maybe 15 quid on it. It must have been 12 years ago. They still send me email even though I've never re-used their service. (I could, of course, unsubscribe, but now it's almost a game, a test of their patience).

I hate that casual dropped into conversation "can I have your email address?" You get at Lots of shops now.
It's designed to catch you off guard so you give it before you've had a chance to question it.
It must work because whenever I say "of course not" in reply they look surprised.
I asked what they wanted it for once. "So we can email you your receipt," they said.
"Why, have you run out of till rolls?" I asked, baffled. Apparently they hadn't.
