Spanish Post

en Post #570

A few months ago I stood in a large queue to post cards to England. The lady in front of me put her post onto the counter. The gentleman started to weigh the post and stamp them, he picked up one envelope weighed it and stamped it, she asked him why it was more expensive than the other one's of the same size and weight, he answered- its a coloured envelope. Has anyone else come across this? Eve

There are times when the Spanish do have some rather strange ideas?

I believe this is correct in the Uk too, so always try to use white envelopes as they are cheaper than coloured ones.

Yes but you must admit the coloured ones are so much prettier. I always think I've done well when I've found a coloured envelope to go with the card !! x

Could this be classed as COLOUR PREJUDICE?

Only where the coloured envelopes are concerned xx

Well it shows it costs to be pretty, Natural is always better, and cheaper.
