I just searched eBay, there's loads of postcards! I had no idea. There is one particular set I've got in mind however, it comes in a little pouch. Sure I'll lay my hands on one.

There is a set of Postbus postcards produced by the PO that turn up in stamp collections from time to time. If you haven't got a set, I'll look out for one.

I'm at the #NECclassic show, so here my best attempt at some philatelic related content!

Blimey! I remember the Commer vans in Post Office livery, not the HA vans. I went a bit Post Office daft at the recent NEC Classic Car Show, taking pictures of anything with the livery.

As a callow youth I attended the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert at Wembley. When he belted out "Somebody to Love" we all kind of turned to one another and went "wow!"
So confirmation he didn't shrink on the big occasions at the old Twin Towers.

Enjoying Karen Carney's post dance interviews on #Strictly
Always thanks the team, leaves it all out on the dancefloor, gives 110% in training. You can take the girl out of football, you can't take the football out of the girl.
PS no cynicism here, she seems genuinely lovely and is a cracking dancer

Serious reply, if you need quite a few stamps, stamp-dealers sell genuine stamps at under face value. This is my pal's business (I don't sell GB stamps). Don't buy the fake stuff off eBay

I was a late developer so much of my teenage time I was spent reading or trying to make accurate models of American trucks out of Lego or playing Scalextric with my brothers all while I listened to the radio. Don't recall ever thinking much about the murderous odd-bod with the wacky 'tache.
