Postage Stamps

Has anyone else noticed (or does it just happen in our local area?) that a jiffy bag or large letter received through the post never has the postage stamp franked ?

All our letters are franked but large letters/packets never are - leaving me free to cut the unfranked stamp from the packet and use it again on another letter with a bit of sticky tape

Never thought of that however I've re-used loads and nobody's ever complained and the letters have always got there

It's because in the mail centres the letters go through a machine which overprints the stamp, whereas the packets get sorted by hand so the stamps don't get marked.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is why the economy is fucked. Everybody is too frightened to spend any money, even when the law says they must.
