I'm not sure if the background is black or dark brown but it looks very somber.

Agree?

Was speaking to someone yesterday whose husband is a postman, about price of stamps - 1st & 2nd class etc, and he  says to not bother with 1st class and only buy 2nd as it all goes exactly the same way/speed.....

He's said to be miffed with self-adhesive stamps as the monarch no longer has their backside licked by the proles on a daily basis.

Do you mean HM?

[Canary42]

No no no douglas, you've got it all wrong.  HM drove the change to self-adhesive because he was sick of the plebs spitting on him behind his back.
