Message: [QUOTE="CharleyBourne, post: 11415045, member: 179382"] 20 plus years ago I worked for a publishing firm. They decided to run some sort of promotion/competition where people had to send in a postcard with the required info on the back. Being a high-flyer I was put in charge of collecting the postcards each day and adding the sender's details to a spreadsheet so that they were entered into the draw or whatever it was. There were usually upwards of 100 postcards a day coming in, and I noticed that the highly efficient Royal Mail or I think Consignia at the time (fcuking top idea that wasn't it) had neglected to frank about 5% of the stamps attached. I soon became an expert at removing stamps even those with the dastardly perforated sections in the middle and ended up with about £200 of stamps. I'm fully aware that it is an offence to reuse a stamp even if it is unfranked (although prove that that I hadn't just taken it off an incorrectly addressed envelope before sending it) and would never dream of doing such a thing, Guv.
