Dear Royal Mail, I am not a thief

so in being green and reusing an envelope it has cost her £1.12 , next time buy a pack of envelopes for a pound then you will have some spare for next time ! and theres no point trying to be green when virgin media and dominos pizza are practically decemating the rainforests on there own

Reuse any envelope, yes, but cut out an unfranked five year old stamp from another envelope and glue it on, NO.

How do you know it's 5 years old?

Because First Class definitive stamps with a large '1st' in the top left, rather than the usual small '1st' in the lower left, were sold for a limited time after being issued in August 2006 when Pricing In Proportion was introduced.

My post office was selling them on Saturday, the ones with the bold 1 like a large letter.

There's still a bold '1st' on all the "1st Large" stamps but not on the ordinary "1st" stamps for under 240 x 165 x 5 mm and less than 100g.

Yes, this was the normal was 46p now 60p ones. I'll take a photo of them on a sheet in the PO book if you like

No, because the Queen likes this version, first used in 1967, so much she won't have any other.

Well, I like the photo I had on my first driving licence and passport, but they still wanted an updated one after 10 years! Who does she think she is?!
