We have some beautiful stamps depicting Alice in Wonderland on sale at the moment, sadly, Royal Mail in their infinite wisdom, have decided to produce two of them, (81p & £1.47) that are not of much use at all! On the other hand, they have decided to extend their “special offer on 2nd class parcels between 1kg & 2kg” until the end of March, (£2.80 instead of £3.80), and we hope that they will not put their prices up too much in April! We have plenty of 1st & 2nd class stamps for those who like to beat any price rise, by buying early!
Despite our writing in the last bulletin about the last acceptance times for post, we still had quite a few late arrivals, we are actually not allowed to accept post after our “Last Acceptance Times” or LATs, these are clearly displayed in branch, 4.30pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday & Friday, 10am on Wednesday & Saturday, on these two half days, the postie comes to collect as late as he can, usually 11.30am, but post really needs to be in by then, to give us time to process it!
We still have a gents silver ring, and a child’s brown dotty coat, but now also have some snazzy black and red kid’s gloves! The car keys found their owner!
Love from Karen & Angela
