Postage increase
For those of us who still buy postage stamps and send letters, you may want to know they are increasing the price of stamps again, later this month.
2nd class will go up 3p to 61p
1st class will also go up 3p to 70p
Royal Mail say:
The increase will come into effect on
25 March and is "necessary to help ensure the sustainability of the Universal Postal Service", the Royal Mail says.
Despite the increase, Royal Mail says its stamp prices rate among the best value in Europe.

70p! No wonder not many people send lots of Christmas cards any more.
