Reply To: Royal Mail criticised for D-Day stamp mix-up

[Not Connard Sage]

All of which is absolutely correct, but although my own father never did anything particularly remarkable in the war, being one of the next generation myself I find it all a little depressing that no-one cared enough to do even a little basic fact checking. Or even to have asked the IWM if they had any suitable images. Or that ‘tribute’ has been devalued over the commercial realitiy of selling as many first day copies as possible.

My views may have been coloured by post holiday melancholia, and reading this book review.

Obvious contrarian and passive aggressive old prat, who is taken far too seriously by some and not seriously enough by others.
