2839. 🇬🇧 Royal Mail’s Stranger Things Issue Makes Internet Appearance.

 

🇬🇧 Royal Mail -

13 January 2026 - Stranger Things, American television programme (of no significance at all to the United Kingdom) - 10 stamps (2 se-tenant strips of 5) and 1 miniature sheet containing 4 different stamps plus other items including a Prestige booklet costing £28.45. These illustrations of presentations packs can be seen on the internet from 2 different sources. Rating:- 0. 

British stamps should celebrate Britain in all its aspects. Royal Mail has sunk to the level of Stamperija. It surprises me that Buckingham Palace approves this rubbish; it seems demeaning to place the King’s cameo on products such as these which have no relevance ro the country over which he reigns. One can only imagine what George V would have had to say about it all.
