Postage Stamps are changing
« on: February 25, 2022, 10:52:51 PM »
4 any1 who buys stamps in bulk, as I do there is a change afoot  >:(.  In future they will have a bar code, so we have a year to use up current stamps or there is a swap system.  Wonder what will happen to all those ...........

As an aside: I wanted to trace a chap from 40+ years ago.  I knew his main town so sent a letter with his full name, the town and part of the postcode.  It took 15 days but arrived, Well Done that Post Person  :medal:
