Slogan Postmarks for January 2026 - and other postal markings

A reminder of what these monthly listings are for.  

For each month I record the different slogans in use, plus the default slogan that is used when there is nothing else.

For each of these I try to record only one of each of the basic two types (see the BHF slogans below), plus any that are reversed on square envelopes, which normally only gives three or four.  

Occasionally a slogan appears with different line spacing in the same format. 

 

I do not record multiple versions of the same as any of these unless I later get a much better example of one that I showed purely for the record, but which is otherwise not very clear.

The only exception to this, which doesn't seem to happen much these days, is when a slogan is used well out of time, such as the Air Ambulance Week slogan below which is from September 2024!  

 

I mention this only to avoid readers unnecessarily duplicating what has already been provided.

January starts (as December ended) with the default British Heart Foundation slogan., and we already have both regular examples.  JH provided the one from Norwich, and RW the one from Plymouth both dated 2 January.

Default British Heart Foundation slogan Norwich Mail Centre 02-01-2026

Default British Heart Foundation slogan Plymouth & Cornwall 02/01/2026

Now two for the price of one from LT.  Superimposed on the BHF slogan here is one for Air Ambulance Week - which is something of a surprise because that has the date September 8th - 14th.  So I don't know what's going on at Sheffield Mail Centre, because both slogans were applied there but the date on the BHF slogan is illegible.

Air Ambulance Week
September 8th - 14th

Air Ambulance Week September slogan used Sheffield Mail Centre 06/01/2026

 The year's first error!!

Other postmarks and postal markings, etc

Unfortunately this image from JW is only a fraction of the cover, but I imagine it was referred to Revenue Protection to check on some of the stamps.  Whatever the outcome, it was passed to be delivered as normal.

We showed a 1st class version of this in 2023, and now we have a 2nd class version.
