Over on the wardman wire, there's a post about the new range of stamps being issued by the Royal Mail (is it still called that?). They're very lovely all featuring endangered British insects. It made me wonder how much longer we will have stamps. When I take a letter or parcel to the post office, the lady (it's nearly always a lady) behind the counter just puts a sticky label on.
I wonder what philatelists think of that.

I don't know about philatelists but my poltroon of an MP (Andrew Rosindell) has been up in arms over the fact that the labels don't have the queen's head on them... then again teh man is from that point where lack and wit collide.
Philatelist......sounds vaguely rude....must be all that licking and stuff :-)
I hadn't even noticed the absence of the monarch, jams!
beast, philately is a lovely word. It sort of flows off the tongue.
Hmmm.
Which will go first - stamps or insects?
I am not a fan of bugs, but they are certainly a nice set of stamps!
Bugs don't bother me at all, but they give some people the creeps. They better avoid those stamps. If they start putting reptiles on them "I" will never post anything again! ICK! lol
I just collect them on First Day Covers instaed!
