It will be interesting to see what happens on 20th - ie whether all offices immediately use the new Rivers stamps without being prompted.Ian - Norvichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16436130277706268046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-22596919046340145122013-09-04T07:36:59.448+01:002013-09-04T07:36:59.448+01:00A round up of what was in the post & go machin...A round up of what was in the post & go machines yesterday in the north east<br /><br />Chester-le-Street<br />Freshwater Life 2: Lakes<br /><br />Darlington<br />(1) Freshwater Life 2: Lakes<br />(2) Cattle<br /><br />Durham<br />(1) Flags (original)<br />(2) Flags (original)<br /><br />South Shields<br />(1) Freshwater Life 2: Lakes<br />(2) Freshwater Life 2: Lakes<br /><br />Sunderland<br />(1) Freshwater Life 2: Lakes<br />(2) Freshwater Life 2: Lakes<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-40761748372740537342013-09-02T15:44:09.080+01:002013-09-02T15:44:09.080+01:00Harlow machine now working and have Flag (Original...Harlow machine now working and have Flag (Original version)<br />Doug (Enfield)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-27883723457239235622013-08-26T07:19:00.034+01:002013-08-26T07:19:00.034+01:00A nice mix of Post & Go labels last Friday

Offices with more than one machine often put the new ones only in one machine - and so collectors always buy a single stamp from a machine to establish whether it (is the one that) has the new stock in.Ian - Norvichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16436130277706268046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-65531806137706489742013-08-12T14:20:45.659+01:002013-08-12T14:20:45.659+01:00Yes, Brian, it is unfortunate that more were not o...Yes, Brian, it is unfortunate that more were not obtained, but my reporter was keen to get his supplies for his CDS first day covers, so he wanted the new roll put in the right place. Sadly that only broke the machine totally.

No real loss to the Post Office as the unprinted stamps have no value until the postage cost is printed on them. This would have made a nice addition to any P&G collection.Brian Morrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-63105120832588666262013-08-11T11:12:27.853+01:002013-08-11T11:12:27.853+01:00If anyone is tempted to visit either of the new Cr...If anyone is tempted to visit either of the new Crown Offices in Wandsworth (Wandsworth Southside & Wandsworth High Street) for Post & Go’s, neither office has a machine due to lack of space, contrary to what the branch finder on the post office website says.
