Nothing makes me feel richer than buying something thatâs hidden behind the counter and only has empty boxes on the shelves

Except of course the fact that even a single $1 stamp is hidden behind the counter now

Are you responsible enough with that stamp young friend?
One day youâll be able to tell the younger generation âback in my day we had stamps and they kept them behind the counterâ.

back in my day there used to be stamp vending machines. You put your 2 or 5c coin in and a single stamp would come out and you would have to detach it from the perforations

Thatâs so cool!
Back in my day the local post office was a tiny little cubicle with a slidey window (looked a bit like a confessional booth) that sat inside a wool shop. It was also run by my prep teacher so I sometimes got to see her on the school holidays.

Fuckin ay 5 cents? I paid $1.20 a stamp đđ

I donât think so old friend. I had to google how the hell they worked and even now Iâm essentially just guessing. It said itâs $1.20 postage to Melbourne, so I think itâll arrive. In any case, I learnt through an eBay seller that Auspost donât just refuse to deliver if you donât put enough stamps on, they just make the recipient pay the difference, so I canât really mess up (I think)

I have no idea but my guess will be that it will still get there because the price of stamps have just gone up.

Sheâll be right
