NO to raising the costs of postage yet again

The cost of posting a letter or card in the UK is becoming prohibitively expensive. At present a 1st class letter costs 46p and 36p for second class. That is to say 9s & 3d and 7s & 3d for those of us old enough to remember. As a schoolboy it cost me 2p (5d). How can older and/or poorer people be expected to manage to pay these ludicrous prices? For those of us lucky enough to have Internet and email access it may not be so worrying. But what about those who do not? Put a stop to this madness now.
