There are new British stamps commemorating TV and other things like that!

OK, I know "Throne" is popular but a set of 24 offerings on the series?

Or eight for "Dad's Army"?
http://www.collectgbstamps.co.uk/explore/issues/?issue=22786

Just a commercial thing I suppose, there will be thousands who want to collect them no doubt.

I despair.

Tomorrow is precious, don't ruin it by fouling up today.

It's a commercial organisation they are there to add shareholder value. They are doing exactly what is needed.
If religions were TV channels atheism is turning the TV off.

Remember, your inability to grasp science is not a valid argument against it.

You know, if all the people who bought stamps to collect used them on envelopes instead, the post office would go under.

Sheer volume of mail?

A public, a crown, service reduced to a money grabbing commercial entity . . .

Tsk! again.

Tsk, tsk, even.
