    Then that's a discipline issue with the wife.

    Sounds to me like the OP was being disciplined.

    I could well be wrong but I seem to remember being told at a local post office that as long as the queens head was there then they were legal tender..

    So they break the hearts of kith and kin, and roam the world at will.

    I've been told this as well, but until I read your post I thought it might have been a dream. Apparently it is treason to put the stamp on upside down. (Gonna check snopes before I post this - oops - too late)

    Also from The Office but I have not seen anything that backs this up. If anyone can find a link I'd be grateful:beer:

    that's what I am worried about

    any royal mail staff able to advise?

    But you've already had advice from a member of RM staff in the post office - I can't see why they would lie.
