Royal Mail is to increase Stamp prices again, a mere few months after the last rise back in October. From April 2nd (Easter Tuesday) both 1st and 2nd Class stamps go up 10 pence. So 1ts Class will then be £1.35. 2nd Class will be 85 pence. I've just read a comment that the new boss at Royal Mail is paid £700 000 a year. That's about £2,000 a day! Maybe they could keep stamp costs lower if they weren't paying out that kind of money to their bosses!. from BBC News................ www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-68447820

Is that why letters have dropped has a form of communication? Back in the 80's you had to physically write to someone for things like applying for a job or a complaint but now you can do it on-line. The only letters I get now are hospital appointments and the odd bit of junk mail from organisations like Sky asking me to take out a subscription for TV and BB packages. Sky TV must have trouble getting new customers if they need to send masses of letters asking people to pay them £39 per month to get a TV and BB package.

My postie is David Staines who I've known since childhood. He can hardly walk and pushes a red cart along which doesn't have any power assist. I asked when he was going to retire and he burst out crying saying he was too old for the job and his wife wanted to go back to the Philipines and he would lose his house if that happened. I think she must've been a mail order bride. Can't blame her for having had enough can you. I hardly get any post either these days. No news is good news to me anyway.
