Nup! no soaking there Blair,
In fact, I heard them gossiping, they no longer will accept, or deal with the peel and stick "flowers" and "native animals" series there are literally millions of these. The shop, a small room, with a counter, staffed with 3 volunteers, they offer Chinese stock books with countries of used stamps. Naturally, I requested Cinderellas and India, the Cinderella box was interesting filled with Spanish meter peel and stick, and etiquettes. India was disappointing, but a lot of modern stuff. Stamps are generally 10c to 15c each, FDC 30c and magazines like Gibbons Monthly $1 A 2Lb bag of "on paper" is $10 and several collectors popped in whilst I was there, suggesting they use these for trade overseas. ....end of report Rodney "Blair" They are probably soaking all the Sydney Harbour bridges for your special phossick box. 8*) Blair |

"Blair" Sounds like an interesting shop at good prices. Too bad our Canadian Red Cross doesn't do the same. B Indeed, there is this vast underground army of "volunteers" throughout our society, which very rarely get recognised, these very generous people do it as they are aware of the joy of giving. There was a lot of natter going on, not much of it philatelic I had a great time fossicking, that's the beauty of collecting WW Here's an example, where I paid double the catalogue price. (I paid 10c) http://cjoint.com/data/gebW57BLPi.htm SGEC310A East China (transport) challenge: find the duck! .........or is it a pigeon? donkey included. The unknown "character" overprint obliterates the Japanese flag on the staff. what the hell was it doing there in the first place? Rodney. |

OK. I'll don the "dull" hat
that comment flew way over my head. I have not read "The hitchhikers" guide (shame) SciFi was never an interest. I was a cowboys and Indians, and coniggets (knights) boy. "Blair" We may be dull, but we are harmless. So Rodney: It appears that you have read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. 8*) Blair |

So Rodney: It appears that you have read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. 8*) Blair The term derives from a joke early in the series, when Arthur Dent discovers that the entry for Earth in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy consists, in its entirety, of the word "Harmless." His friend Ford Prefect, a contributor to the Guide, assures him that the next edition will contain the article on Earth that Ford has spent the last 15 years researching—somewhat cut due to space restrictions, but still an improvement. The revised article, he eventually admits, will simply read "Mostly harmless." : |
