The 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
