: Cross-post on. That includes those who sit in lofty towers in other newsgroups. Armchair quarterbacks who are 10 posts removed from the original context. You have to wonder about all of these voyeuristic actions. Cross-post off. Oh look. We appear to have a pot/kettle discolouration competition. -- eric www.ericjarvis.co.uk "live fast, die only if strictly necessary" |

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1733840/posts Santa replaces Christ in Christmas stamps The Daily Express ^ | 07/11/06 | Cyril Dixon Posted on 11/07/2006 1:44:20 AM PST by Mrs Ivan BUNGLING mail chiefs were yesterday accused of taking the Christ out of Christmas. They unveiled this year's festive stamps - which ignore the season's holy background. Furious Christian politicians joined the Church of England to condemn the Royal Mail over its six faith-free designs. The trolls strike again, with this multi-crossposted nonsense. The Royal Mail have had a policy for years, whereby one year the stamps have a Christian religious theme, and the next a more secular theme. This year is the 'secular' one. Every other year we get the same rant from Church leaders (and I speak as a regular church-goer). Now to criticise the Santa stamp on design grounds is another matter - he does look as if he sitting on the loo (or at least there is going to be some unpleasantness in the fireplace next morning). I am also told by my local postmaster that having commemorative stamps at 1.19 pounds is very useful, so it is not just to fleece the collectors... Why is there no Machin of that value, then? I am feeling a little aggrieved to receive the third Smiler sheet in a month this morning, at over six pounds a time. -- Tony Clayton Coins of the UK : http://www.coinsoftheuk.info Sent using RISCOS on an Acorn Strong Arm RiscPC ....
