Royal Mail cancels ( broken record)
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. Tony "Alan" wrote in message ...

It's not much better when they cancel properly
http://cjoint.com/data/gqe6QcWCyw.htm Although it is hard to see how one can cancel parcels without this sort of result. -- pookiethai at iprimus.com.au "Alan" wrote in message ... | Another exciting cancel from the Royal Mail on the envelope with my | latest edition from The Modern British Philatelic Circle.

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. Douglas |

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 ...

Jan-Martin 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. Douglas |

Royal Mail cancels ( broken record)
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? On Thu, 15 Jun 2006 21:13:09 -0500, "A.E. Gelat" wrote: This has nothing to do with retarded people.
