Why does the Royal Mail have all these weird and wonderful values for
single stamps?
I can't for the life of me see how the stamp values relate to any
usefulness based on the cost of sending a letter. But there must be
some sort of conection like this.
Can anyone work it out?
This page http://tinyurl.com/fpf9u shows the value of individual
stamps I can get from my post office are as follows:
1 pence
2
5
9
10
20
37
42
44
49
50
72
And thse pages is a list of charge bands for different weights of
first or second class post:

What is the connection?
While this thread is here, can someone tell me, if I have a load of 1st
class stamps, then the price of the 1st class service increases, do this
stamps still "work" as 1st class?
