Six times a year I post approximately 500 envelopes within the UK. Until a couple of days ago they cost £1.17 each to post, now they cost £1.19 each.
Are £1.19 stamps available? Of course not, to get that value I have to stick on a 63p, a 54p and a 2p or a 50p, a 54p and 3x5p. Or I could stick on a £1 and a 20p and 'donate' a fiver each posting to the newly privatised Royal Mail.
Why, whenever stamp prices are increased which seems to happen every year, can't single stamps be available at each postage rate? It's not chuffin' rocket science...!! Grrrr......!!!
