What’s this I hear about the cost of first class stamps rising to £1.65? Do I care? My own experience is that it does not make any difference whether you post a letter first class or second class. It will get there when it gets there. Whether that’s next day or the next two days; or next week. So don’t be fooled. Back in the 80’s I posted a second class letter to my parents in Bournemouth, which they received the same afternoon. Years later, I posted a letter to India, which arrived almost the next day. How amazing was that? And what’s this about the Royal Mail saying that they are not going to deliver second class letters on Saturday? Are they being serious? I’m heartbroken.
