It's not a postie thing. I'm a postie and my bag gets divided up into bundles with the infamous red laccy bands round them. No strips of paper.

Thankfully up here we don't have much call for BNP activity. I never heard of the white strip of paper thing. Is that what they do? Sometimes I'm ashamed to be human.

Thanks for the sensible reply. I was just going to come under fire for this thread!

My internet searching has revealed no answers anyway.

Did you check the other side of the paper?

Seriously though, it probably came through with the menus, I used to deliver free papers and menus for a bit of extra money when I was a kid and you get a blank bit of paper as a separator every 50-100 sheets.

BNP active in my neighbourhood too, but usually put leaflets though about "community meetings", complaining about immigrants or inviting you to meet Nick Griffin. I shouldn't worry about it, if they have a problem with you they are not known for their subtlety. I've heard of them putting much worse things on or through people's doors.

I've never heard of this at all so i'm curious as to where you got this idea from????

Could it not have just beeen a random bit of paper blown there? I notice you've edited the original post as to where it was so i'm even more confused.

If you're really concerned call the local cop shop and ask them about it i'd say.

I only changed the original post as it mentioned that it came in with the mail.

I don't know whether it's an urban myth myself, it's one of those things I was told by a friend, who's friend had a similar occurance and a friend of his told him that this is what it meant. Or some connection like that anyway.

It was the size of a business card, and was on the doormat as if it had been posted. If nobody's heard of it, might be another one of those Store High In Transit type myths.

I've binned it anyway, so will see.

I have the same friend

Actually he told me the truth about them - what it is, is that when aliens come to take people away for experimentation, they mark the houses by posting a piece of paper through the door. Depending on the colour of the paper, you will be taken from a different place - e.g. for blue, you will be taken whilst walking the dog as dusk approaches and your dog has stopped for a dump.

White, on the other hand - an interesting one that dates back to when aliens first started visiting Earth. They became fascinated by Top Gear; as a result, white means that you will be taken as the Top Gear credits roll, generally at 9pm. Obviously if you are watching a repeat it won't happen, that's just silly!

The size of the piece of paper dictates how long you will be gone, although I am unsure of the exact measures (information is quite limited on these things as you might imagine, and only passed on by word of mouth). Suffice to say if it's business card size you shouldn't be gone long - tell your family to prepare for 2 days, 3 at the most.

On the other hand, it could mean your postie surrenders?
