Title: I don't believe it!
Post by: Dave on June 05, 2018, 08:49:29 PM
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"?

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

I despair.

It's a commercial organisation they are there to add shareholder value. They are doing exactly what is needed.

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.
