Thats a bargain if you ask me, why not try to deliver it yourself for 46p instead of complaining
A bit like a £1.20 litre of petrol then.
Pumped up from the depths of the North Sea, piped to a refinery, refined etc., etc., etc, and finally delivered to a petrol station near you..................all for just £1.20.

well i am glad to see such positive saving out there i have re edited my post above with the true costs we are all really facing for me atm will be in the region of about £2000-£2500 on 2 items petrol and gas/electric. forgetting other costs like council tax, food costs, no pay rises at all so that becomes a pay cut in effect also longer hours and i could go on so prob in real term looking alot more than that while i appreciate postal costs to some of you who would use say huge amount of stamps it could effect such as ebay sellers but in the grand picture it really doesnt effect most of us sorry if my post upsets you a bit but i reckoning time you take it all into account the real cost to me personally will be at least in the region of £4000 maybe more while i tend to think is a little bit more unimportant than a 5P increase on a stamp at the end of the day we will all have to pay more and that is an end of it truly.

No - I think they're 32p now? I can't find any definite reference to this increase online, only speculation. Lynsey, have you got a link to the story?0 -

Thanks! They have this wrong though, it says second class is increasing by 4p to 32p - it's from 32p to 36p. 0
