Though i saw a post that had the 'before' and 'after' post prices for letters and packets, had a search and cant find it. Any of you clever folks know where i can find said prices?

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

A friend of mine bought a load of 1st and 2nd stamps to use on packets after the price increase.

Not sure how this works, but it actually works out CHEAPER to post AFTER the prices rise tomorrow.. lol!

Also, he asked me a question the other day. Can 1st Class Large stamps be used (worth 90p) to cover postage of a 10g postcard (87p)?
Anyone know the answer?
