๐ฌ๐ง๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ Royal Mail -
? August 2022 - It seems almost impossible to believe that Royal Mail, always keen to please and always keen to make money, will not issue some stamps to commemorate this evening’s victory by the England women’s football team in the Women’s European Championships final held at Wembley Stadium which is the first international football championship victory by an English team since 1966. Then England’s men beat Germany 4-2 in extra time, this time the English women won 2-1 in extra time. Same ratio!
If Royal Mail does not release one of its four stamp sporting victory miniature sheets at lightning speed then my amazement will know no bounds. Though they might just stick to issuing stamps commemorating American comics and paint a postbox, this time it seems impossible for Royal Mail to risk the public ire which would be incurred if it is does not commemorate England’s women’s notable victory.
In 1966 England beat West Germany 4-2 in extra time with a hat trick scored by Geoff Hurst.
ReplyDeleteYou are of course quite right. I watched it as a boy and I remember when it was “all over!” I will correct the nonsense about penalties. Many thanks.
DeleteFor the cricket World Cup, the women had to wait until the men won, before there were stamps/MS. How long would these Lionesses have to wait for the men to do something?!
ReplyDeleteWhite Knight replying - that is why I think Royal Mail will find it hard not to release a commemorative item for the Women’s team success
