Just before Easter, I got a card from the Post Office saying that I had a letter with insufficient postage. After some thought, I decided it was probably worth sticking stamps on it and seeing what it was. Today, it arrived. I'm not entirely sure why Olympus felt it necessary to send me two copies of their PR, but I do wish that they'd also used two stamps on the envelope.

Popped into Waitrose, post wedding-suit-collection, to buy some bits and pieces and some wine. As I was hanging around in the wine section looking for a member of staff I could send off to find Michael, The Wine Man, he wandered over, greeted me like an old friend and asked if there was anything I needed. He really is very good (at least, none of the wine recipients has ever complained, and he usually points out a cheaper bottle or two for us that's always good). He very subtly and politely told me that my cunning plan was crap, and sold me something much better instead.

Ditto your first paragraph.

Interesting. As suggested below, did M get one? Did you have the right stamps on yours?

It was addressed to both of us, which is why I accepted it - I vaguely thought it might be a fanzine or something interesting. The postage was a first class stamp - presumably enough for a single copy.

re: postage, that was my assumption as the excess (less fee) was the cost of a first class stamp.

re: addressing, that's interesting. I'll have to check if Mike got his own copy or if this is supposed to be for both of us even though there was only one label.
