Stamp prices could rise by 50% - Yahoo!

So buy......

10,000 x 2nd Class Self Adhesive Stamp Roll at Royal Mail Shop

What do you think? Stamps go for a penny discount each on ebay.

I believe prices are highly likely to increase at a rate well above inflation even if they don't put them up 50% in one whack. RM is currently taking a loss on each one.

Oh, nertz!!! I can't go long 2nd class postage stamps because I just used all my margin to short cat food. But thanks for the tip.

Just bought 2,000 for starters.

Better having these than a guaranteed loss in cash.

I continue to build my position in stamps

Wait and see, I'll be stuck with thousands and thousands of the things, unable to get rid, and i'll look like a right plonker.

At least I know a stamp will post a letter in 1, 5 or 10 years time. Can't say the same for the 36p i'm paying for each one today.

Outrage over Royal Mail plan to offer cheaper stamps to five million claiming benefits | Mail Online

I can't describe my anger. Not because I've bought some, but because it's so fricking retarded I just can't believe.

Nice call!

On the wider stamps matter, what the f*** is wrong with Royal Mail? Are they deliberately trying to put themselves out of business? At our office we're lucky to get our post by 2 in the afternoon. Absolutely useless.

It almost makes one wish that there was some kind of magical way of sending communications for free via a computer. Or that the mail industry could be opened up to competition.

But that will never happen, so Royal Mail can go charging more for a worse service with impunity.

Reminds me of years ago when we got a letter from RM saying that our post would be collected in future at approximately 3:13 pm Ah, they did work to tight deadlines in those days

Although I would like to see this archac behemoth opened up to competition I have to say I am happy with their service. I even get my mail at around 10.30am everyday as of the new year rather than the afternoon.
