An interesting article from the BBC stating that Royal Mail are hiking up the price of their postage stamps despite the current economic climate. An article worthy of discussion in any lesson but especially when teaching the law of demand, pricing strategy, production costs, efficiency, technological change, inflation or just as a Case Study for Royal Mail.
