[OT] Face value of stamps and the costs of posting
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: http://www.royalmail.com/portal/rm/j...9&catId=400028 http://www.royalmail.com/portal/rm/j...0&catId=400028 What is the connection? |
