RM announce price increases

Royal Mail have announced that the price of a first class stamp is to rise by 2p to 34p from next April, and that of a large letter by 4p to 48p. A 100g first class packet will now cost £1.09 and the fee for recorded delivery rises to 70p. Royal Mail state that these price increases mean that pricing reflects the "true cost" of mail delivery more closely.
