Mind, I always thought they made a mistake with the letter classes. First class should have been more expensive and better service than is offered. Thus only being a tiny percentage of mail.
When the class system was introduced in the late 1960s the difference
was only 1/2p, which meant that a lot of stuff went first when it need
not have done. But currently the difference is 11p, 19p from 1
January.

(The system was set up to deal with the vast amount of mail posted
late afternoon that was expected to be delivered the next morning.


If there is a lot of post to sort then first-class post collected in the
afternoon will be sorted while the second class is held back. In quiter
times the second class will go through with the first.
