Royal Mail cancels ( broken record)

Another exciting cancel from the Royal Mail on the envelope with my
latest edition from The Modern British Philatelic Circle. I know you
cant refuse employment from people who are retarded but really....

This has nothing to do with retarded people. Sometimes envelopes are not
postmarked accidentally, so the postmen do it when they notice the omission.
They are required to do that. The only tool they have for that is a
ballpoint pen. I have seen this on envelopes from many countries.

It's not much better when they cancel properly

Although it is hard to see how one can cancel parcels
without this sort of result.

What is the postman supposed to do instead? Delivery offices are not
part of the local Post Office and may not have cancellers. In view of
the number of soaked-off uncancelled stamps being sold on eBay for
postage (`skips') they have to do *something*. This ballpen scribble
is common and not to be compared with overinked parcel cancellations.

In some places, they are given rubber stamps for cancelling "skips".

However, it were better if stamps on postal items which don't
easily fit through the cancelling machine were cancelled right
upon posting. Actually, last December they even hand-cancelled
all stamps on mail posted over the counter of the local post
office down the road from here, but maybe this was because of
the extra amount of mail due to the holiday season ...

Yes, it is the fault of the sending office not the delivery postman.
Things are likely to get much worse after 21 August when Pricing in
Proportion comes into effect.

Didn't French postal carriers have rural route cancels at one point?
The number in a circle? Maybe I'm mistaken...

I truly wonder how many postal carriers check out the mail when they
deliver it. This could happen at the receiving P.O, no doubt, but how
many truly mark up envelopes like that?
