Also see Robert Murray's major article (published in The Philatelic Exporter) on the subject of the British Post Office's stamp issuing policy, and how this might effect the stamp business. Follow this link.

We've recently added piles of these to the stocks in our shop. Have a look next time you're in, and make youself hearty savings against the price of new items. Sorry - these are only available to personal callers.
