You monkey you're having us on.



" The cost of a first class stamp will rise by 9p to 85p on 1 January, Royal Mail has announced. A second class stamp will also go up in price, rising by 1p to 66p on the same day. Prices were raised to their current levels in March."

Re: Oh My

If people only use the 2nd class, 66p stamps, then everything will go 1st class.
Maybe time for a boycott?

The rise in the cost of First Class stamps is 85p, see link below:

https://www.which.co.uk/news/2020/02...the-increases/

Not easy to find this information on increases from the Post Office websites, in fact I could not, as to be expected I guess. All the Post Office is doing is to chase the losses caused by new technology i.e. the internet and emails!


Also of use to many of us are the last Christmas posting dates on this link:

Edited to add: @ Apricot – apologies, I posted this without seeing your post # 8
