    Stamps cost 3p more. Does that mean they're going to start delivering post again, and when they do will it be timely?
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    Yeah, I recall our mail being delivered before 8 am while I was a bit younger.

    Now... we're lucky to see it before 12pm and it's always the wrong mail being delivered to the wrong NUMBERS. How hard is it for the postal work to ensure the house number is the same as the mail ?

    Re: Reminder - fuel duty up 2p/l as of 1/04/2009

    Does that mean then any stamps I have (first class) that would have been 3p cheaper won't be valid ?

    if they just say 1st then they remain valid.
    If they actually have an amount printed on them then they wouldn't.



    went to the garage (I was going past anyway so not a special trip) & stuck 25 litres in - quite surreal as in 1 line nose to tail there were 3 of us in identical cars
