[According to the article] It also removes the 'crime' whereby people would wash stamps and remove the postmark, so they could be used again. Not that I've ever tried that. Oh no siree. Not me.
It will also end the practice of occasionally receiving a letter, noticing it hasn't been postmarked properly and tearing the section with the stamp off, so you can re-use it again yourself. Now there's a fine old British past time we can all get behind!
- benj111 4y agobut if a stamp hasn't been postmarked, how are you to tell if its been used or not? and why is there an issue in using it? I always got the impression that royal mail weren't that bothered about this or else they would make sure every stamp was franked. ultimately its their responsibility to frank their mail, if they don't do that, thats their problem, soon to be ours.
