Bet you never knew there were so many towns in Essex. I have distributed leaflets to each of them in my time, admittedly some were just a few hundred or perhaps only 100 leaflets and I did 4 of them in one day. But I did manage to do them all - perhaps I could talk to the Guinness Book of Records about leaflet delivery records?

In case you're wondering - that's 394 towns and villages - I excluded the three big towns at the top.
