Even so it's easy to know the going "exchange" rate for IRC>postage and how much an overseas letter costs... so pretty much the same :-) In a related matter, parcel force just went bust so probably postage from the UK will cost even more (a pity for the SECOND country in the world to use stamps and the first to use a regular modern postal service).... It's probably cheaper to take a train to France, mail what you have to mail abroad and get back than use parcel force.... Phoebus
