Thanks!!! I found some adresses which could be worth the try. Today I went to the postoffice to ask them for reply-stamps or whatever it is called (to be sure that the attached envelop adressed to myself will be returned by post without letting the adressed person charging for that) The guy at the postoffice looked at me in a way that he might thinking I'm joking. These coupons/stamps won't be used anymore for years. So, what now? Should I order these coupons/stamps by internet on a UK postage site or American postage site? You probably know where to get these stamps. Please help me where to get them. Thanks in advance.

I think you mean grams.
And who told you Dutch stamps would be good for return postage, as that's the first I ever heard of it? Are you sure they knew what they were talking about?

OK, I visited the site for the UK-stamps.... What stamps do I need? I know, I can calculate the price in pounds by weight of the letter, but on the stamps itselve just says 1st class and 2nd class?!

1st class or 2nd class is for national mail.
Just use stamps for the amount you need.

Well you can use stamps you draw yourself. They would be just as good coming from abroad.
I know Raphael has gotten some back with Dutch stamps, indeed I've gotten some back with no stamps, but that doesn't mean the post office accepts that as a rule.
I do wonder how much Raphael has sent out with Dutch stamps on the SASE and how much he has gotten back.

OK, now I found the right ones, but here is not the opportunity to buy them per 12, but per sheet of 100! If I buy a sheet of 100 of 1 pounds, well it's quiet expensive, there are also of course stamps of 10 or 20 p but then the envelop is almost covered with stamps and doesnot look nice at all.... So, is there not a alternative where to buy the 1 pound/50 p stamps in smaller quantities? Maybe we can place a order for more people who need stamps? So we can split the costs and have the right stamps?

Right, well, if nobody else is interested I might order a sheet of 100 st of 37 p? I calculated that the average amount of stamps adressed to yourself should be around 1,82 pound. If you take the 37 pence stamps it will only take you almost 5 stamps. Shall I order it and get into touch with you for the splitting of the costs? Or is there another person interested in UK stamps?

Well, I will send a picture size A4 together with a carton piece so the picture won't be damaged. All together it weighs around 150 gram.
