Old Speckled Hen Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I always thought that if the Post Office were to issue special stamps for Christmas the designs should be along religious themes and they often aren't. This year though the second class stamp features our local church http://news.bbc.co.uk/local/cumbria/hi/front_page/newsid_8340000/8340781.stm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurpleTree Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 My mum works in a Post Office and last year they had 2 sets of Christmas stamps - religious and non-religious. She had to ask everyone which one's they wanted so she wouldn't offend anyone, said it made everything take twice as long as all the older customers wanted to dither and tell her the reasons for their choice, and everyone else looked at her like they couldn't care less what stamp went on the envelope. Fab that your local church is featured though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
