Thank you Veggie. Even more reasons not to send Christmas cards.

Today is the last day that Royal Mail stamps without a Bar Code can be used - there will be a £1.10 charge for using the old stamps from August 1st.
Time to bid a fond farewell to all our well-travelled envelopes - they've served us well. Big Grin

I sent my old style ones in for swapping. I didn't have the cheek to send off reclaimed unfranked ones. As you say that era is gone.

Ah but do the barcoded stamps get recorded on a computer so are voided?
