No. There will not be any increase in stamps in 2010. An increase is in the works for 2011

I have heard they may go up (2 cents) in May 2009......but I'm not positive. It could be just a rumor.
those stamps are forever stamps they will always coast the same as other stamps
May 12, 2008, 41 cent stamps go up to 42 cents.
It is expected that there will be an increase. Most of the First Class stamps currently available are Forever stamps. They will be valid after the postage rate goes up.
Nothing. If there is any reserve stocks, they might be destroyed. Otherwise they are used with small stamps to complete the new rate.
Since in the last several years the price (of postage as well as goods in general) has risen so fast, the price of a stamp has changed often. This has made it difficult to plan on buying stamps, adding a two- or three-cent stamp to make up the difference when using up stamps bought before the last increase. With the "Forever" stamp, you can buy a supply of them, and you don't have to mess around with additional stamps to make up the difference.
Yes you can. Stamps with fixed values on them (such as 1p, 5p, etc.) will still be worth the same amount after the increase. However, stamps that say 1st, 1st Large, 2nd etc. will automatically increase in value when the price changes - so a 1st stamp now will still be valid for 1st after the change. It's therefore well worth stocking up on these stamps before the price increases, especially as this is probably the largest single price increase the Royal Mail has ever inflicted on its loyal customers. The "1st Large" stamp, in particular, is set to go up in price by nearly 20%. Remember that you can use these stamps as part payment on items requiring a higher amount of postage. For example, 2 "1st" stamps are worth 72p (78p after the increase), 3 "1st Large" stamps are worth £1.56 (£1.83 after the increase).
