CHOIRBOY Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I read that after 160 years the Royal Mail has removed the Queens Head from Stamps and replaced it by a bar-code. If we must regretfully remove the Queen who or what should replace her on our stamps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichC Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 You either read wrong or didn't understand, or were misinformed. Stamps are still being used, but customers can now buy postage online and print out a barcode to stick on their envelopes or packages. This should save a lot of time and for once it seems that the Post Office - or whatever they're called nowadays - has actually come up with a good idea. Incidentally, I'd be very happy to see the Queen's likeness removed from stamps, and banknotes, and everything else, and the dissolution of the Monarchy, but that's just me.

Guest Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 ...To be frank I believe that this service has bee around for at least a couple of years. A similar service has been around for a while, but it involved downloading software and there was also a monthly fee for its use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
