On your left hand illustration it shows a white bar on the left underneath the '9'. On my booklets the white bar appears on the right hand side underneath the '3'. This also results in a very pronounced ghost image of the queen with a grey shadow on the front of her face!<br />Doug (Enfield)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-98780943742603802013-01-25T10:23:04.506+00:002013-01-25T10:23:04.506+00:00Cynical here, why both Walsall and Royal Mail can&...Cynical here, why both Walsall and Royal Mail can't be bothered comes down to money, who's making more cash from poor registration, who sells more. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-67581241779452345082013-01-25T08:34:22.710+00:002013-01-25T08:34:22.710+00:00Update: a better picture has now been added.

With the modern technology available this does surprise me and I can't really understand why RM haven't taken them to task on it, but it probably comes down to cost.<br /><br />I'd love to see printing switch to DLR, not only because of the poor quality but also because of the very unfair and inconsistent way that cylinder booklets are distributed. With DLR historically you got a Cylinder booklet every fifth booklet in a sealed pack without fail. Walsall's are all over the place and Tallents House won't pick them out despite the demand for them. The end result is worse than a lottery and it needs changing, frankly.1 Stop Stamp Shopnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-70300285265380866252013-01-24T13:57:24.008+00:002013-01-24T13:57:24.008+00:00Which version is the most common?Which version is the most common?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
