A5 is what 210 x 150 ? [Half A4]

I, speaking as a sub manager would much rather have A5's.

ANYTHING has to be better than some of the envelopes I get, which are
too flimsy, wont take a slightly larger card, or need 10 yards of
sellotape to make them 'work'.
Having said that, I have one 'bod' who sends me A4 and then asks 'wait
3', and one who uses 'photo envelopes' with a card backing - on a good
day he gets 4 cards in each one due to the weight.

Mind you the RSGB also specify the size of a QSL card, and that gets
ignored by 'those who should know better'. [BIG grin]
