IRC coupons in the UK

I have a question: are IRc's still working in the UK? I know that Royal Mail stopped selling them, but are they exchangable into stamps? I mean, if I sent a letter from Poland to UK, can I put IRC instead of British stamps inside the envelope? Will it work?

Yes they will work
Member countries of the IRC scheme are not obliged to sell them, but they are obliged to accept them for exchange.

I used to use IRCs a lot and I don't remember getting many replies with them. I have since sent (with stamps) to almost all the people who didn't reply with IRCs and got replies from the majority. I'm not convinced that IRCs work - it's too much effort for them to sort it out.
