How Many Of These Are They Sending Out?

The NHS is trying to recruit people for some research. And, since they have a bottomless pit of taxpayer money to draw on, why not carpet bomb a neighbourhood with 'to the occupier' letters?

 

To clarify - this is the fourth such letter I've had over a two week period. First class stamp costs £1.65 now. I know they will get some sort of discount for bulk mailing, but jesus!

In c.1967 there was a hilarious sketch on 'I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again' at the time of the introduction of Second Class Post. At that time, First Class cost 5d, and Second Class 4d.

The ISIRTA team were visionaries, depicting the then squeaky-clean Rolf Harris as a purveyor of dirty songs.

The postage sketch is on the CD compilation set, though I suspect references to Rolf have since been purged.
