OT: Bloody Royal Mail

You claim. But others seem to disagree. And you need to explain what the *point* is of putting more than one on. And where is how you use them in this fashion *documented*?

I heard that too. And that was just for the first offence. Apparently they confiscate your credit cards, loose money and any valuables in the house for later offences.

If your name is Hucker or James Wilkinson Sword, special forces abseil down the outside walls and smash their way in through the windows. I've seen it happen many times to my neighbour who's always putting two stamps on his letters.

Ah no, worse than that around here. Your house is strafed by low-flying communist aircraft.

The faux outrage tell us he's a troll. Turns out it's Peter Hucker, who has such an attitude problem he can't get a job despite being an Edinburgh physics graduate and winner of the Winifred Mackie Smith prize.

Isn't he also the guy who keeps toucans or something like that or am I mixing him up?

Ah - right. So nothing has changed?

So you can post something when the post office is closed. If you work 9 to 5 as most people do, it can be almost impossible to get to an open post office. If the item fits in a post box, you can therefore use stamps and post it out of hours.

I can't find anywhere on the Royal Mail site that says you can OR can't. So we have to assume you can, since it's done by many people - I've often bought something on Ebay and it's got to me with several stamps on it.

Whereas you use the bathroom sink? :-)

I got the military into trouble for flying a helicopter for testing pilots over my town at 3am for 3 hours. My MP made a big fuss.

They seem quite consistent to me.

Do you have both?

Only plumbers do that.

I shouldn't worry about that. My local post office keeps a small meat cleaver which it uses to chop a finger off any troll attempting to buy a stamp for a "large letter" and then the postmaster opens the letter and puts the finger inside.

Most trolls don't try this more than 10 times. I wonder why.

Ah, you recognised Pedro Hucker by the content too?

Luckily for you they didn't know you considered putting two "large letter" stamps on a letter or you would be in Barlinnie jail now.

Please take care. The walls have ears.

My local postal delivery office refuses to deliver letters with two stamps on them. It's something to do with the 3-D effect making you dizzy when seeing two identical stamps on an envelope.

Last year they had six deaths from dizzy postmen who walked into the traffic.

If someone around here has a physics degree, preferably from Edinburgh, they could probably explain it.

Yes - you are right - but the rules are aimed at people who have common sense; f*****ts cannot comprehend.

No, some of the pages just say "large letter" and quote the maximum rating (750g). In fact those are the only ones I ever saw until I hunted harder today after spotting someone had sent me a large letter costing £2 instead of £1.

Yes.

I know of a painter that missed the toilet. Mind you he was only about 11. Dunno if his dad was paying him or not. In any case he was also s*it at painting.

Probably because I'm the only fountain of common sense in here.

WHICH pages?

Isn't that unusual where you are?
