Postage stamps cannot be bought at the tobacconist's. They can be either obtained from slot machines, which have three denominations, or bought separately or in the form of the books of stamps at the postal office.
The main post office in a area is called the General Post Office or the G. P. O., for a short.

Passport or money, generously the valuables, are sent in registered letters, not any important message as in Czech Republic.British stamps do not have the word "Britain" on them. On English stamps, there is a small portrait of Queen or the King, usually in the corner of the stamp.

The postman does not deliver money to the house. He brings the addressee a postal order or a money order in an envelope and the addressee goes to the post office to exchange the order for cash. The postman brings also family allowances.
