If you don't know who they're from, don't open them in front of others is my advice. I once fell for that with what felt like (and turned out to be) a book of 'coffee table book' dimensions. It was the contents of the book that were a little... unusual. I won't elaborate as I'm sure some of you would prefer to retain what innocence you have left; suffice to say that I thought my mum was going to either swoon or spontaneously combust after saying, 'Ooh, that looks nice' and opening a page at random.

Ohhh... that's naughty. :(

It's one thing to send you these things but to make you pay is a bit off :nono:

How far are you from the depot?

Ouch! :( Your typical envelope with a total thickness in excess of 5mm and / or >100g needs to go over the counter (iirc a 'large letter' is £0.69 for 2nd Class and £0.90 1st Class) at the PO. So it looks like someone's paid for a standard letter at first class and you've paid £0.09 for the postage (they tend to charge the difference based on the relevant 2nd Class stamp) plus £1.00 'admin charge' for the privilege of being told the fee wasn't enough :( .


Tell you what, I'll send you something nice to make up for it ;) :D .



(And it won't be a pink spork either! :rofl: )
