I remember hearing a couple of years ago now that Royal Mail lost money on 1st and 2nd class letter deliverys, and made the difference in parcel and larger item deliverys. Whilst the price has really stepped up, has it been much higher than the increased cost in fuel used to deliver a lot of these, and they must also set a fixed price to send a letter to ANY UK address at both extremes of the country 
What If There Were No Hypothetical Questions?

If you buy stamps with FIRST on them now, will they still go as first when the price goes up?

Might I encourage you to do what I did last year? Instead of sending Christmas cards out I sent £50 to Help for Heroes. I told as many people as I could by email that I would not be sending cards out and tried to encourage them to do the same. Total waste of money is cards as far as I am concerned.
P.S. You get a nice thankyou from H4H as well.

An excellent idea Bandy. It might be an idea to refresh this thread again just before Crimbo. I'd gladly give H4H the equiv. amount. Better them than the Royal Mail!

More scheming from the good people of Wiki to condemn more to the dole queue, its a wonder no one has suggested, get the troops to deliver them in between dropping the fuel off.

Have we been paying to little for a long time as far as the price of first or second class post for a letter. After all you pay the same price for a letter you want to send to say Liverpool, as you do for one you may send to Glasgow, and for 95 to 99% of the time its an exelent service.

To be fair, yes it is a huge price hike, however postage in some other countries is much more than ours. At the mo it costs 68p to send a card (up to 20g) to Europe, cheap as chips!!
