Postage Stamps go up a humungous amount & new ones must be used from April 30th. Second: 36 to 50p, First: 46 to 60p.
Never mind buying ISAs, go to the Post Office & get as many first & second class stamps as you can afford, although I bet there's a ' shortage ' any time soon.

Does anyone post anything anymore?

[Specialone]

Yep me, I post stuff a fair bit, quotes to customers etc, they will be sent 2nd class from now.

Perhaps it will stop the post office running at a loss

Ummmm are you implying that the old ones I've already got with 1st and 2nd on them wouldn't be useable? Shurely not? I couldn't find anything on the Royal Mail site.

i think he was saying, from that date you can only buy the new higher priced stamps

But still use the original ones.
The ones with values on are just that.

Franking is going up by 5p, so not as much as the stamps but enough for us to be looking at reducing outbound post at work and using second class more often.

Stamps never go out of date they're techincally a recognised tender.
When the values go up to 60p, if you've a book of 12 bought at 46p sat then you've made a saving of £1.68 over someone buying the full price ones it practically makes you a tycoon lol.
