Postage question

I'm sending a letter which needs to arrive by Saturday at the latest.
I tried buying some first class stamps at the local shop but they only had 2nd class. If I put 2 (or 3?) second class stamps on the same envelope and write 'First Class', do you think it would work? As technically I've paid over the price of a first class stamp.
I know it works with large letters (A4 sized) with two 1st class stamps instead of a 'Large letter' one.
Anyone know?

I did not know that, thank you, I've learned something today now too!
You're welcome
I'll give it a try with two second class stamps and writing "First Class" on it clearly. I don't have a post office anywhere near me, that would require a trip in to town, so I'll have to make do with putting it in the post box.
All the post is sorted by machine and travels together and arrives together.
The only way to get fast delivery to a garunteed time is to use special delivery. (that needs a visit to a post office)
You could book a parcel service to pick up and deliver from your home though.
It all costs money..
