    It is going to get very expensive - IF you can get the stamps at all! Are they only being released in London?

      I couldn't find any Pembrokeshire POs selling them next (nearest seems to be Swansea) day but they will be at Haverfordwest, Milford Haven, Pembroke Dock etc on a weekly distribution.

      See Post Office website, use Branch Finder and select Gold Medal Weekly to find your nearest.

      See previous blogs viz:

      A lot of smaller POs will have the stamps several days after the main POs

    I started getting sets & FDCs with single stamps for the first two days, now I have given up because it IS getting expensive. Why cannot we buy single stamps?

      Single stamps are - or will be - available, and FDCs can be submitted all month, irrespective of when you actually get the stamps. See other blog posts or our webpage for gold medal stamps.

      I was told by the staff in Manchester that we could only buy them in sheets of 6, and when I took one off the sheet and put on the FDC they initially said I had to put ALL SIX on the FDC - until a more senior member of staff confirmed that just one was sufficient.

      A lot of misinformation at PO Counter level, sadly. Probably because some of them never read instructions properly anyway.
