I think it is really hard to distinguish the 1st from the 1.10. Basically your eye sees the big numeral 1 and the rest gets lost.

ReplyDeleteYes, given that many people don't know the actual price of a 1st class stamp, I wonder how many people will use all four stamps - at 78p each, rather than the 46p cost of a 1st class stamp.
