    She wouldn't have it and it really wasn't worth the hassle. Still it motivated me to sort out a better posting scheme, and I now stamp all my post at home and get it dropped off direct at the mail centre every day.

    Ahh..some are definitely jobsworths!

    Well now all stamps are self adhesive, they don't even fall off bags, which makes it soo much easier and better!

    Only certain denominations are self adhesive, some still are old fashioned 'stick on' ones. I use paper labels on my plastic bags though so stick the stamps to that.

    Why not use the RM web-site to print the address and buy postage so you get a bar-code on the label, then just put into document wallet?

    I always found it far too slow, much easier to just print out labels and stick stamps on it and kinder on my paper and ink stocks as well. I am a dab hand now at knowign what stamps make up the various denominations.

    The only stuff i do print is airmail and 1st class via paypal- I get a lot of airmail but virtually no 1st class.
