Postal rates up to tomorrow. But I am sure you hadn't forgotten.........

Asked in my PO office for new rate sheet - "sorry, sir, nothing in yet". Silly me for asking.

If stamps are printed FIRST CLASS then they are now worth 30p each.

If they just have a value of 28p on them then you will need 2p stamps to use as well for First Class post. DL
