| I don't like photos on stamps. Stamps should only feature drawings. _________________ |

| Gosh, a stamp thread not started by me. The NHOTW is being swept by stamp mania! I don't like any of these silly modern sets with TV characters on them. |

| So what's actually going on here isn't that the NVI concept - the "1st" and "2nd" indicators instead of an actual value - is being abolished, it's that they're adding barcodes to the new NVI stamps, and so won't be accepting the old NVI ones without the barcodes. https://www.royalmail.com/sending/barcoded-stamps A new stamp with a barcode, yesterday _________________ ' "Haven't got houses."

| I actually get that one because earlier I was cross referencing philately terms and Queen songs and considered doing that exact same title but thought it too obscure and subtle. _________________ Have you ever seen a Squonk's tears?

| Oh, no, on reflection, I think that the angle on "Killer Queen" I was considering was even more obscure than what the Countess was aiming at.

| I'd forgotten that 'killer' was a philatelic term. I've only recently got interested in postmarks. _________________ ' "Haven't got houses." Where do they live then?'
