November started off with the default British Heart Foundation slogan, before it was replaced by one for Remembrance Day.
This was the first slogan we have received for some time, BHF from Cornwall Mail Centre on 01/11/2024.

UPDATE 12 November: my thanks to JH for sending the alternative BHF layout dated 11-11-2024. Still no sign of Movermber.

Other postmarks, postal markings etc.
The Lest We Forget image also shows a counter date stamp from Headington Oxfordshire. This is unusual in having the county name and in full. So many that we have seen are almost anonymous!
The branch is now in the Co-operative supermarket, and the Headington History website has a page devoted to the post office over the centuries.

Our Canadian correspondent SS has another package posted at Littlehamtpton's Wick News post office branch - all they need to do now is cancel the stamps! They must be misinterpreting a PO Ltd instruction.
