That you said international stamps were more expensive, they are not :) And currently you may not be putting enough postage on your letters.

Okay. Airmail letter prices depend on weight. If it weighs up to 10g, the cost is £0.67. If it weighs 11-20g, the cost is £0.97.

First class stamps cost £0.41 each. So you are sending your letters with £0.88 postage, which is too much or too little.

As you said International stamps were more expensive, I was correcting you. :)

IRC's can be hard to find but they are out there. I can to go a central, 7 counter PO and get them easily, they even keep them in the stamps books they are available so freely.

Airmail letters cost £0.67 upto 10g and £0.97 for upto 20g. Two normal first class stamps (2x£0.41)will be fine if it's under 10g but not enough for any other weight. So you are paying too much or not enough, they are not more expensive! That's if you mean normal stamps and not Large Letters since that comes to £1.22, but again more expensive that proper airmail stamps.
