Does Scotland go to school on Christmas eve?

No

[Edit]

Hogmanay, or the New Year, was traditionally of far more importance in Scotland than Christmas Day. My late grandfather was Scottish and he always used to tell us that he had to go to school on Christmas Day itself, not just Christmas Eve. This would have been around 1900. Christmas Day did not become a public holiday in Scotland until 1958. Compare the situation in England, where New Year's Day did not become a public holiday until 1974.

How many stamps does it take o send a letter from Wales to Scotland?

The simple answer is one. However, the more complicated answer is that this will be dependant on the weight and size of the letter. Since the changes in Post Office pricing, envelopes are measured using a grid at the post office counter. If the letter falls completely withing the red zone (this is slightly larger than a standard DL letter), then you can send the letter via ordinary First of Second Class post. If, however, the letter falls outwith the red zone, ther cost of postage is increased. The size of the increase is then guaged on how much bigger or outside the letter is. If all this isn't confusing enough, if the depth of the letter is bigger than a slot in the same measuring grid, ther is an additional premiun. Once you've done all that, you then could be asked to weigh the envelope, resulting in yet a different total postage cost. The rule of thumb is: keep the envelope within standard sizes and don't make the letter too bulky!. I haven't put inthe prices for 1st and 2nd class postage as I'm aware that these are going to change soon. You can check out the most recent guidance and prices at the royal mail website -www.royalmail.com
