Yes - little did they know what they were doing at the time! Worse I have seen is when the corner where the stamp was had been cut-out - completely ruining a real gem! ... and have you seen those in libraries where they have punched holes in them to inex/file! - ugh! How can they do that! :oops:

The last section of London's M25 was famously opened by Margaret Thatcher 30 years ago today... but are there any postcards out there that mark the occassion?

I haven't seen any, have you?
