The Last Post

Things have come a long way in the UK since the days of the 'Penny black' stamp. Following Post Office privatisation, it now costs £1.20 to send a First Class letter to another UK location. That could now take days to arrive. The newly bar-coded stamps themselves, have a very limited life-span. Another fun postal fact is that it's become much more difficult to send a Christmas card to anywhere else in the world. Stamps to 'foreign' locations can only be purchased from Main Post offices. Sub-Post Offices appear limited to stamps for the UK. I suppose this might be an ingeneous way of stopping folk complaining about 'Brexit'?
