St Valentine's turn for a special slogan postmark

As expected, the special slogan postmarks for Burns Night and Wales' love-saint St Dwynwen are followed by yet another unannounced slogan for St Valentine.

So far only seen from Chester Mail Centre, our thanks to Adrian for this one, in use last Saturday, 7th February 2015.  I suppose we can expect to see this all week until Friday 13th.  Mail from Peterborough MC on 7th had the 'Stroke association' postmark, as did mail from South Midlands MC on 6th.


Examples of the other format are now arriving, thanks to our readers.  This is the best example so far:


But none of them is particularly clear

    A special postmark will also appear today on all stamped UK and international mail.
    It will read “Happy Chinese New Year 2015” and will feature a translation in Mandarin Chinese.
