Title: un stamped stamps...
Post by: LWC on February 24, 2011, 07:33:13 pm
Ive noticed more and more my stamps from the envelopes i put through arent being stamped by royal mail, so being the proper tight wod window cleaner that ive grown to become, i re use them all the time.

Anyone else notice that?

I used to until they started issuing stamps with perforations in them. Can't be bothered now. :-[

When my mate was a geeky student he would send letters to his other daft activist mates and they all covered the stamps with a smearing of soap so the could wash off the stamp and reuse :o now that is tight
