Wearing my Sub Managers hat - I can only agree with the comment re the
5mm thickness [and fancy increasing the weight to 100grams for that
size]

I'm trying to get my lads onto the 37p stamp rate,and decent manilla
envelopes.

I have this morning sent off to a 'customer' an envelope of A4 size with
a first class stamp on, marked 'wait 10', and included a PO leaflet
explaining that in future that size envelope will cost a minimum of 37
but I doubt if they will listen. - I feel an evil grin coming on.
