Postage Stamps

Split from another topic.


I've just seen that postage stamps will be changing from next year to have QR codes on.

So now I've got to hunt out any books of stamps I might have and hurry up and use them, or try and get them exchanged.

I don't like all this technology!

I received a 'First Day Cover' with a 2nd class stamp including a QR code nearly a year ago, Katharine. However I wasn't aware that the code was for the purpose of including an animation to be watched on your phone, or whatever.

I have a sheet of 25 of the 2021 Christmas stamps but I guess they will get used up during the year when sending birthday cards, etc. However, as they didn't cost me anything as my son-in-law gave them to me, I won't lose any money if they aren't. He gets a couple of sheets each year as he works for Parcel Force. I used up all the 2020 ones he gave me the year before, last Christmas.
