Apparently there's a something on the stamps - I can't remember the words
but some smarty pants here will insert them. Photo something perhaps ...
I
can't be bothered raking through the remaining grey cells :-)

If there are any stamps which display this 'code' on an envelope or packet
it will make the whole sum of the stamps, even if all the others are coded
as 1st class, be shunted into the 2nd class system.



Its a phosphur stripe.

That's the one! A phosphor strip, thanks :-)

The rates will be more complicated from August where instead of just
the weight, the size will also determine the cost.

We always send the smallest pack we can so I doubt that we scould save
anythng but I'll be pleased if people stop sending huge envelopes with one
sheet of A4 in them. What a waste!
