Thanks Alan.

I had one guy who sent money, and it caused so many 'arguments' that I
refused to accept anything but SASE's.
At least I can just look at the stamp and know what weight an envelope
will take. Any 'high stamped' envelopes I usually writethe weight limit
on when they arrive. The only problem is of course that there is always
the guy who thinks I can get 45 cards into a small letter envelope <evil
grin> They only pull that trick once.

I can phone RSGB QSL Buro at any time and ask for a box of cards to be
sent to me - usually have one a month so my 'big operators' get quite a
good flow of Buro cards  - I can turn a Buro box round normally in about
3 days [average 1500 cards a time - but then the M5 series is quite
small - just over 250 issued calls now]
