Thanks for the tip on the postage – I’ve been taken by surprise with the sales off the site. I ordered a hundred thinking that would last a month or six. Over 300 gone out now and sales are holding around 6 a day.
The publisher seems surprised as well – I think we’re 50% through the first print run already. Repeat sales coming in from the bookshops as well.
At this rate I’ll be getting a new rotovator!

Hi John
Well done on your book, I’ve been dipping into it almost daily since it arrived.
With regard to stamps – I run a mail order business and either print stamps myself using Smartstamp or use a PPI account that I have with Royal Mail, which means I stamp packages myself and deliver them to the sorting office. Your 78p would be 69p on a PPI account.

Yes i have done John many times. We even wrote to our local MP who sits in parliament.

Not a thing gets done. The politicians of today just think they can walk all over people and in many cases they generally do.

Thanks for the tip about writing to the opposition i’ll set about that straight away.

Write to your councilors, better still write to the prospective ones in opposition. Make it an issue. You have to fight or they’ll take paradise and put up a parking lot.

£22.00 sounds a bargain compared to my £58.75 and we have no electric, water, the council don’t leave manure, leaves or clear away any of it’s own rubbish.
