Opening the post

[tinyjo]

So, I'm wondering. Most of the mail which arrives at the house for old occupants, I either re-direct or return to sender. I'm getting one or two letters a week though, from business sources (they're franked, not stamped) with no return address. These days, the Royal Mail will just throw these away if I stick them back in the system. So am I allowed to open the letters with the purpose of getting the sender's address to return the mail?

if it's got no return address

the business doesn't want it back. It's the postal equivalent of spam. Chuck it.
