The Royal Mail missed out here

IT seems to me that Royal Mail may have missed a good selling point.

They could have made a good profit.

I tried to buy some Olympic postage stamps at my local post office in Winterbourne at 4pm today only to be informed they had a waiting list of 40 people wanting to buy some.

But they were only issued with six sets of the six souvenir stamps so they were unable to supply.

At 80p for only one first class stamp, the Royal Mail could have made a huge profit.

At 6 x 80p for each set souvenir stamps they would have made a huge profit.

The Olympics have been so successful I wonder if they might be persuaded to print some more. I do hope so.

I am now 81 but when I was in my teens I enjoyed working in the Evening Post editorial department in Silver Street.

They were such happy carefree days.

Winterbourne Post Office must indeed be making a hugh profit selling stamps at 20p more than anywhere else.
