SIXTY Pounds??!! (Pounds Sterling, that is...)

Yes, that's what I was told it would cost, when I presented to be weighed, at the Post Office, what I thought was just a small box of 'stuff' to mail back to Canada!! I had decided that I need to lighten my baggage load, but certainly not at that price! I have since sifted through the items in the box and a local charity shop ended up receiving more than half of the 'stuff'... I'm still debating what to do with the rest... Just over 4lb could go for just over 14 pounds sterling, but even that is pretty steep! More anon...
