Royal Mail Postage
10 Answers
Hi, I wonder if there are any Royal Mail Postal workers out there that can answer this question....?
If a first class letter is delivered to an address in Greater London on a Monday, when would it have been posted please (and this is not at Christmas time when post is generally delayed, but at all other times of the year)?
Also, in what circumstances is a letter not franked?
Does the letter always have a red line through the stamp?
Can the stamp have a black or blue line through the stamp or does it always have to be red?
Therefore, there is no way of knowing where a letter has come from if it's not been franked....I'm assuming?
Thank you...

As for franking, not impossible but very unusual for it to have missed franking.
If I deliver anything by hand, I just mark on letter "by hand" so that I and recipients know it has been delivered, certainly wouldn't put a stamp on it at the cost they are now.

A letter sometimes slips through without being franked ( they do process over 3 million a day ) . If you want to know where an unfranked letter came from just open it and look! There is normally a return address on the back of official letters. I have never seen a red line through a stamp the 'franking' is Black as far as I have ever seen !
