You serious.
Better to just drop a few people from Xmas list.
Same here. For weeks before the last increase, every time I went past the Post Office, I'd pop in and buy a few more books of stamps.
If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.

The 5% discount would still be a better deal than stocking up before the increase. You can also buy books of stamps all year round on ebay for slightly less than face value (if you look out for them) and collect nectar points at the same time.
The steep increase (two years ago) was big news, but we're just talking pennies this time. Although pennies do make pounds this won't make much difference to most people.
