I saw this and thought of you

Ashes 2005 Minature SheetThe Royal Mail's Ashes 2005 stamps are issued today. Interestingly, only 1st class and 68p ones, rather than the more usual set of 4 standard values of 1st, 42, 47, and 60.

Well, after the Royal Mail's campaign to get us to send a letter, "I saw this and thought of you", I had to chuckle this morning on realising the significance of the 2 values.

1st class is good for sending letters round the UK. And 68p? Well, that's how much it costs to send a letter to Australia ;-)
