The news is due to be released in the quiet-news period between Christmas and New Year, and it will then get maximum exposure and set social media alight!Ian - Norvichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16436130277706268046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-72980746864872243732017-11-11T14:08:01.125+00:002017-11-11T14:08:01.125+00:00"This is really frustrating for collectors - ..."This is really frustrating for collectors - and us - because now that companies are obliged to inform customers in advance what they are planning to charge on their next invoice, or for their next sending which is on standing order(!), they are sending out these notices to tell you how much they will be charging you, but they can't print the details on the notification - and if you phone them up, they can't or won't tell you either."<br /><br />Just thinking - they will need to announce the 2018 programme pretty soon or we will the same problems when they send out the notifications for the first issue in January - assuming there is one!Bobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-9001909140294601462017-11-11T09:29:27.265+00:002017-11-11T09:29:27.265+00:00As always another money spinner for RM.

Not even a proper mention on the stamps themselves as to what they're commemorating. Remember one of the 2012 Diamond Jubilee stamps which just had 'Golden Jubilee 2002' written on it? RM seems very reluctant to mark the event and has made no effort in the design.<br /><br />J. Paul MurdockJ.

Wouldn't £1.40 have been a better value as it is worldwide rate and therefore Commonwealth, rather than Europe 100g?Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00024511273935227430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-90763796958963866622017-11-07T17:13:50.992+00:002017-11-07T17:13:50.992+00:00Not sure how legal this transaction can be.

I have been sent an order advice notice that money will be debited by VDD within 3 days of the 20th November. I'm sure the Queen with all her so called offshore funds wouldn't stand for this despite being married for 70 years on that date. Guernsey appear happy to make announcements!<br />Doug (Enfield) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-82484312020232109272017-11-07T16:32:20.896+00:002017-11-07T16:32:20.896+00:00ok then :) thanks for update :)ok then :) thanks for update :)cruyffnoreply@blogger.com
