If you read the thread you will see it is quite possible to fraudulently re use a stamp that has been through the system and escaped franking. That's the whole point of these new stamps .I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards. If you need any help on these boards, do let me know.. Please note that Ambassadors are not moderators.

I kind of agree with you on one point, a car park please at a post office.
I usually try and walk to the local PO but some Mondays particularly I have too much stuff to physically manage even with a shopping style trolley (books are bulky!) so I am forced to take a car. Unfortunately there is no parking anywhere near the main PO and the local POs all have yellow lines outside. I got a parking ticket last month (so sore point as it was my first ever) all because I was trying to make a small living selling and posting things. I can't even say I will never use the car to the PO again as the moment i have a good run of heavy books sales plus ebay stuff I will have to drive.
It's the same with banks, why can't we have banks with carparks?"Love you Dave Brooker! x"
