Well, the Daily Mail has done it again! Shock and horror, the “Queens Head has been removed“! I am staggered that this has even made it onto the front page of a national newspaper, but I suppose as it’s the Daily Mail I should not be surprised.
What a load of ‘stuff’ over nothing. Surely in this day and age, any option to make even posting a letter easier is a step forward. I have been using a Royal Mail business product called Smart Stamp for over a year – this evens lets me put my own logo or image in the stamp (I guess I could put a Queen’s Head in if I wanted), so this new ‘product’ seems to me, to be a step forward in the right direction.
From the furore that this seems to have started, particularly in the Daily Mail letters page, you would think that the world as we know it, was coming to an end! To me this is just another choice that we have been given, if the people that don’t like it and still want to; they can still buy their stamps (with a Queen’s Head) at many of the outlets that sell them.
I would have thought that the Daily Mail had better subjects to put on its front page, the erosion of UK Civil Liberties, the funding of the NHS, the Darfur Genocide, Global Warming! Shall I go on and on and on and on… perhaps in another post!
