NO!!!

Buying stamps now for the lower rate means they can still be used after April 2007?

I mean sometimes you get those really stupid stamps that are for like 1p. They may as well not make them ahhhhhhh!

that is correct,if no price printed on stamp and you can still use old ones

just to confirm, if you buy stamps now, and they say 1st/2nd etc on them, you can use them after the changeover, and wont have to pay any extra.

if they are marked with a price, you can still use them, but will have to use additional stamps to make it up to the correct value
