Default If you've got a spare £36....

It would be worth getting a sheet of 100 1st class stamps 'cos the same stamps will cost £39 in April

Or you could save £36 and email/Text/phone someone instead.

I print all my postage online http://www.royalmail.com/portal/rm/p...diaId=84700757

It would cost me at least £3 to drive to the nearest PO, pay to park, queue up for about three hours lose my temper, walk out, drive to another PO, pay to park, lose my temper, walk out drive to another PO, find it's closed down, shut for lunch, whatever, then drive home again and print it

Superdrug also sell stamps, not just the PO.
I believe they also have a 20% sale on postage stamps.
Good I suppose if you actually use postage stamps as legal tender. I'm sure I heard Ricky Gervais say once that you could technically pay for your bus fare with stamps.

I spend about £50 a week on stamps and got sucked into getting a free franking machine trial from Piteney Bowes. "Yes sir it will be 2p cheaper for a second class stamp"

They don't tell you it costs a fiver every time you want to add credit.
They don't tell you you have to buy ink
you need to buy labels for big envilopes
You have to hire it (okay they tell you this)
You have to pay the lecky to run it
You have to Pat Test it
You have to send the letters the same day you frank them.

Pain in the are and it's cheaper to buy stamps.

What i find crazy is that in our current EU-dominated world, with "kilogrammes" and "centimetres" and other decimal-enforced measurements, you buy books of 1st class stamps in "twelves"!

..off to buy a gross
