What a strange idea it is, sending a bundle of British Philatelic stuff to someone who is clearly not familiar with what Royal mail produce. I would like to think that it will increase their sales, but I would be very surprised if it will have been worth their effort. Neil is certainly an expert on his subject, and like most experts (including perhaps philatelists) could seem rather focussed. However, any gentleman who has a cat, is a fine fellow in my estimation!

I actually have a page on my website dedicated to GB Stamps featuring football: https://www.myfootballfacts.com/england_footy/football-on-great-britain-postage-stamps/?swcfpc=1My Football Facts and Statshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084004469365448427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-86835104035186084602021-10-21T07:27:30.923+01:002021-10-21T07:27:30.923+01:00A fascinating 17 minutes which raises the question...A fascinating 17 minutes which raises the question of the competence of Royal Mail’s marketing experts. Why would they consider it worthwhile sending an expensive package from Edinburg (in England) to presumably try to boost its sales to one of the dullest, least energetic, poorly informed Americans viewable on the internet. This gentlemen is clearly a greater ‘influencer’ for the sale of mattresses and duvets but little else. Until you drew our attention to this item Royal Mail’s patronisation of this influencer had resulted in only 10 views though no doubt those who follow Norvic Stamps Blog will also now view this gentleman’s dreary presentation and increase its number of viewers several fold. My conclusion is that while Royal Mail continue to produce stamps, it should concentrate on genuine stamp collectors, support the hobby and release stamps which tell the story of Britain and not feature subjects which might (but may well not - it seems) appeal to people who know nothing about, and have no interest in, stamp collecting and believe that Edinburg(h) is in England.White Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17968199477827266643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-1678840389023603662021-10-21T02:09:16.732+01:002021-10-21T02:09:16.732+01:00For sure that it won't always happened to othe...For sure that it won't always happened to other famous person on other stamp issue topics. For example, there is a famous Hong Kong man who is now living in Thailand and collect huge amount of James Bond 007 items. I told him there is new stamp issue of James Bond and of course he bought them without receiving any philatelic items for Royal Mail for assisting promotion.soldierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18045356599575722838noreply@blogger.com
