🇬🇧 Royal Mail -

Designed by Common Curiosity and lithographed by Cartor and perforated 14.5. 

Great designs celebrating British humour as it was 50 years ago but now long lost under the pressure of political correctness and pofacedness and the need to be offended. An excessive issue with grossly unnecessary extra items (yes, I know they’re for the fans) but let’s give the basic set & miniature sheet a full blown ***** in memory of a lost Britain and its zany, rude sense of humour.
