Does that mean it's a more economical consumer choice when buying
stamps for letters?...


These stamps will always be valid for first class postage no matter what price you
pay.

It helps the Post Office because they don't need to print new stamps every time the
rate changers and it helps the consumer who doesn't get stuck with the old rate
stamps and have to buy make up values.

Some people in this group think this I dea will not work :-)

Dos that also aply to the 1st and 2nd stamps of GB?

Yes it does - I regularly buy a couple of sheets of 'Non-Value'
stamps when a price increase is announced, so I have enough
to see me through a year or so without paying the increase!
