JFKvsNixon Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I'd read this offer as being an attempt to drum up extra sales rather than give the unemployed a gift, so I fail to see what the fuss is about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaFoot Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Isn't this a response to Alco's post? Erm... probably! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bloke Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 ...I'm still much more annoyed by the price hikes in postage that happened earlier in the year than by any discounts. I still have a few stamps I bought before the price hikes. I'm sure I read somewhere(?) that if the stamps are just marked 1st or 2nd (ie. not with the postage value) then they are still useable.

Yes, that's why I bought a load before the price went up. You can also use 1st & 2nd stamps to make up the postage for bigger items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry - I thought you meant you were annoyed that you couldn't use them! Anyway, just found this for confirmation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimjim03 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I didn't say I was 'worked up' about it. I said it was 'irritating', along with all the other free and gratis benefits. I was really irritated when I discovered that a nightschool course in 'pottery' was oversubscribed because all the places were taken by those on benefits. No I don't mind free places at nightschool one iota, in subjects where it would improve their prospects of getting gainful employment. I think that is a great idea. Something like Maths, or english, or IT. But 'pottery'???...And that's only one example! I wonder if they get free plates in these classes.
