Postal stamps become so expensive

I collect postcards today I went to the post office it was £1 per postcard I am devestated the cost used to be like 80p or a bit less then rose to 90p I don't think i can continue collecting postcards anymore Or I will have to reduce the amount I send I mostly send postcards all over europe and Asia often to China,Russia,Netherlands,Germany, Do you think the postal cost is expensive i wanted to send a envelope with 4 postcards to Ukraine they wanted 3.40£ for it I guess its 60p cheaper if I sent them without envelope but still. I wish they had coupons or loyalty cards or some sort of discounts. I am a regular at my post office.

I didn't vote tory because I can't vote and because I like Labour not TORY!!!
Devestated? Over 20p?

No I don't think the service is expensive for what you get, you can send postcards hundreds of miles away for a few quid...not exactly my idea of expensive.

So because you send far more mail than the average person you expect post to be cheaper? If they made post cheap for people sending that much mail they wouldn't make any money.

I weaved two people lovely pretty Easter baskets out of coloured paper at Easter and filled them with all the best Easter chocolates, Lindt, Guylian, Kinder, Cadbury, Galaxy, Maltesers. Then I had to make boxes for them both out of thick cardboard, then I papered them in brown paper and wrote "FRAGILE, THIS WAY UP" all over them in black and red pen.

The Royal Mail probably guessed I had slaved over them so took them just to be like HAHAHA:hahaha:
Or they could smell the chocolates and were greedy:cry2:
