Have you ever wondered...?

Have you ever wondered about the new kind of stamps that Royal Mail have been producing?
There is an image of the new kind of stamp below....telling you about why they look like this.
It's to do with people using unfranked stamps apparently

I had a feeling it was to do with something like this....
Have any of you tried taking off unfranked stamps off envelopes and using them again?
Well,I have to be honest and say that I have done this,especially when Christmas cards arrive by the dozen.

I love the idea that people "wash their mail" to get the black ink off.

If people are that worried, they will just leave the same stamp on, and stick a new address label on the envelope.

I used to collect the special stamps that came from abroad or were limited editions when I was younger, but I have always bought a stamp when posting a letter, never re used one

A new address label!!!
Of course, i bet a lot of people might just do that.
Heh,heh,heh......

Hmmm,i don't think i will try this if i'm posting something important though....just in case.

Whats a stamp look like as I have never brought one, I just post letters without a stamp on it, and just let em pay at the other end

[imhotep]

Ooooh knobsworth,you really mean that you've never bought a stamp!!
I wouldn't dream of doing that!!
Surely you're pulling my leg.....
