    It looks like stamp prices have increased slightly above inflation but when you consider how few letters are actually sent since a stamp was a few pence it kind of makes sense. You can send a letter from one end of the country to another for £1.65 and I don’t think that’s too bad!

      But with increasing stamp prices it becomes harder to justify sending a letter. Sounds more like a death spiral.
