Finland ~ Parcels by bus.
Marvelous Blair, thanks very much, I especially liked the opinions of Mr. David Beech FRPSL when identifying so called "Cinderellas" that served with genuine usage, in comparison of the government sanctioned yet unnecessary "stamps". A nice "cock the snook" at the philatelic elite. It still remains a mystery why SG choose to list the Finland bus parcel stamps whilst ignoring others, I also learnt that a "parcel" (in GB at least) is any letter over 1 pound. Thanks for all the info. A NZ tramway parcel cinderella http://cjoint.com/data/fdhsFbBuBC.htm (source unknown) Rodney. ng "Blair" wrote in message ...
