Didn't a member of this list refer his employer (London Borough - Enfield?) to Information Commissioner a couple of years ago for assessment over payroll advertising / marketing? Can't recollect the full details - think that Information Commissioner returned an adverse assessment requiring employer to stop printing advertising directly on all payslips & to remove advertising flyers / inserts from payslips of any objectors.
