So, am only "allowed" to buy the small value Machin stamps to add on to make the correct postage and I can get those at the small little post office round the corner, rather than heading into town to the main post office.

Instead of delisting currently available stamps from RM web page keep them so if people need stamps they can get them although looking at the shop old issues remain in abundance, even RM flood the posties with work, my Romantic poets issue and Bulletin Book arrived in 6 different envelopes when 3 could of been sufficient, SO Royal Mail have a serious think money or welfare and be like the majority just run the essentials because new issues aren't especially when definitives would do for now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-47965242173612890932020-04-17T11:43:22.022+01:002020-04-17T11:43:22.022+01:00Thank you for the information Ian, very helpful fo...Thank you for the information Ian, very helpful for me, quite a nice set of stamps I thinkpetemkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04444483566044974093noreply@blogger.com
