🇬🇬 Guernsey Post -
2025 - Somewhat depressingly, Guernsey Post is once more announcing that it will be pressing ahead with ‘cyber stamps’ which were originally intended to be released in 2024 but were delayed due to a legal problem. This appears to be the same Golden Guernsey goat product held over from last year and further information will be released on 16 July 2025. We await the details with bated breath.
