#royalmail — Public Fediverse posts

Not an expression of republican sentiment - but a pen cancellation of a #postage #stamp by #RoyalMail #Chelmsford - maybe because the sender used an odd shaped envelope - it is from one of our service users who pays by cheque, they tend to be seniors who still use notepaper and writing cases!

When I worked at RM there were hand stamps for this if the sorting machine didn't auto cancel the stamps. but they have likely been abandoned to save time and costs post privatisation, and RM don't want the stamp being reused, especially at £1.80 a time!

There was recently a Robin of Sherwood 40th anniversary convention in Wales. Which I couldn't go to. But I've been picking up some merchandise for sale there. Today's arrival was a Hooded Bear, or as I call him Robin. Plus some fridge magnets. Gobsmackingly delivered today by a postie. On a Sunday! #RobinOfSherwood #teddyBear #plushie #merchandise #fandom #RoyalMail #post #convention
