Ta. Title: Re: Postage, of the letter kind Post by: jutty274 on Wednesday, July 16, 2014, 08:48:35 The 1st & 2nd come with 1st or 2nd on it, but you can still buy stamps with a monetry value on them as well.

You could always try sending a letter to someone. They may send one back. ;D Title: Re: Postage, of the letter kind Post by: Ardiles on Wednesday, July 16, 2014, 08:58:54 That is a valid point.
Title: Re: Postage, of the letter kind Post by: 4D on Wednesday, July 16, 2014, 09:09:13 Seriously Yep, send most things by email or when I have posted letters they are standard and just required a 1st or 2nd class stamp. The large letter I need to post works out at 93p ???

Do kids still do this or is it all texts and online now? Sexts. Why even bother with words when you can just send a picture of your junk?

And the fact it's pointless Title: Re: Postage, of the letter kind Post by: Reg Smeeton on Wednesday, July 16, 2014, 09:59:56 The days of sending birds letters etc, meant you had to have an address book. I've still got, a quality little red bound thing, of size somewhere between the old 60's driving licence book, and a passport.
Quite good fun looking back through it :) It appears that the keenest birds, liked to write their details in themselves, probably not trusting me, due to propensity for out of headness. The days of text put an end to it, however, I had a nice collection of birds phone numbers on my ancient Nokia, up until about a month ago, when I needed a new SIM card, the fella at EE, assured me that everything on the old card would go across to the new card, but it didn't :( The active ones, aren't a problem to get back, but it's the loss of the history which annoys.

Title: Re: Postage, of the letter kind Post by: Reg Smeeton on Wednesday, July 16, 2014, 10:13:34 Did EE say clone phone would transfer all the old details over? Utter shite. Probably...because I know jack shit about the subject, I'll believe just about anything I'm told. I had saved a bunch of the more interesting text, which did get transferred, so that was something to work with. :) Title: Re: Postage, of the letter kind Post by: kerry red on Wednesday, July 16, 2014, 10:25:25 The last time I exchanged letters was in the 70s when I was posted to the Middle East and wife No. 1 was at home shagging a policeman.
Ho hum!

Reg, my wife lost all her phone nos. when she changed phones as well last week despite assurances from Tesco mobile that they would all transfer. She went back in and complained, they did it for her with a small piece of kit - not available to the public apparently.

Interesting, I didn't change phone though, just SIM card which they gave me for nothing....it makes the phone work, so I don't feel inclined to complain. Useful knowledge for future reference though.

It's simple to transfer from one to the other, there's no fancy machinery involved, so I don't know what bullshit the phone shop are giving you. I suppose they could be using a SIM card reader plugged into a PC, but it's not exactly rocket science. Old SIM in the phone > copy contacts from SIM to phone > swap to new SIM > copy contacts to new SIM. Job done.

Title: Re: Postage, of the letter kind Post by: OrangeTransits on Wednesday, July 16, 2014, 13:36:56 Use an App called "SuperBackup" Does contacts and a whole lot more. TEXTS/SMS, Apps, Call Logs, Calendar and Bookamrks.
Got it because I hate losing texts when changing phones. |
