Default Royal Mail insanity

Our postie dropped off a card stating that they had an item to deliver,
but it was £1.50 short on postage. I could use any one of various
methods of payment, but since I have no plans to visit the Post Office,
and I don't have stamps to the value of £1.50 to hand, I chose Pay
Online.
Which was all very well, until I was informed that this was only
possible for charges of at least £8.01!
My local council, and NHS car parks, can take values as low as £0.25,
so why this discrimination? Maybe it's part of their Horizon project.

I have a Christmas stamp worth £1.70, using that will be cheaper than
driving to town. And I have no idea what it is, and they won't tell me.
My new laptop isn't ready yet.
