Mail
Virtually all post offices are open Mon-Fri 9am-5.30pm, Sat 9am-12.30 or 1pm; in small communities you'll find sub-post offices operating out of general stores; these are open standard post-office hours, even if the shop itself is open for longer. Stamps can be bought at supermarkets and newsagents, as well as from post office counters, in books of six or twelve. A first-class stamp for letters and postcards to anywhere in the British Isles currently costs 27p and should - in theory, at least - arrive the next day; second-class costs 19p and takes from two to four days. Airmail weighing less than 20g (0.7oz) to European countries costs 37p and elsewhere overseas from 45p for 10g, and 65p for 20g. Pre-stamped airletters conforming to overseas airmail weight limits of under 10g can be bought for 40p from post offices only. For more information about Royal Mail postal services, call 08457/740740.
