F%^king Post Office and Stamp update

Wow, how time fly's, so, if you read my last post you will have seen that I have started to get back into my Philately, and I was doing an evaluation on my stamps, as the last time I did one was 30 years ago, OMG, was I in for a shock, I am only 10 pages into my UK collection and I find a stamp worth £25000, yes twenty five grand, I also came across one worth £7000.00, so my £15000 replacement insurance is so far out of date it's scary.

Why Fuck the Post Office I hear you say, well, I have noticed of late that they no longer use nice rubber stamps to cancel the stamps, some of the rubber stamp impressions are collected by Philatelist as well.  But recently the PO have take to scribbling over the stamps with Biro's and thick black markers, which completely ruin the stamps, so I went onto twitter where I follow the PO, and I asked the question, expecting a good reason for this horrible way of cancelling the stamp's, the answer I got shocked me it was 'We can cancel them anyway we please' WTF, that's not an answer you fucking dick head, in fact I know the answer as I asked my postman and he said 'Laziness, they just can't be assed to take the time to use a proper cancellation stamp', So what the fuck is going on, I buy new mint stamp packs every year from the PO, and they are not cheap, last year I spent over £200 just for my collection, without the everyday stamps for letters etc .

So, if you are one of the twats that ruins stamps in the post office, move on and don't come back, but if you are a senior member than think about it, I am just one person who spends about £500 a year on my hobby, there are thousands of us just in the UK and millions world wide, you earn more from us collecting than you do from your services, so, just think about what your doing, you are killing the hobby for used stamps, how can I get young kids interested in the hobby if the stamps are so defaced you cant see the beauty or have a postmark of interest?  I have been collecting for 56 years, and hope to continue to carry on for another 56 (yeah I know I ain't gonna last that long) so come on Post Office, get back to thinking about the hobbyist as well.

Moan over.
