so straight on with today's post,
I popped round to see Phil, then we were off to Jack Levey's office on Pattaya Tai,
next stop to the Punch & Judy as Phil had not eaten breakfast yet, after dropping him at his home I went in search of some clear tape, I wanted to put a small piece on the corners of some of the pages in our stamp albums to keep the plastic covering sheets in place, so I stopped at, in order, a 7-11 another 7-11, a Family Mart, Tesco Lotus Express and another 7-11, there is a shortage of clear tape as not a single one had any, almost feeling like going home I tried one more Family Mart and was lucky, they also had some soda which again none of the other stores had, so home I went to continue playing with stamps,
today I was updating the collection of non-stamps that commemorate annual stamp congress meetings,
the stamps can not be used for postage, they are printed as souvenirs for people that attend the congress,
the The Association of British Philatelic Societies, (ABPS) organises each year the Philatelic Congress of Great Britain, the first congress was held in Manchester in 1909, (I am still looking for an example of 1909 if any one has one), but the ones above are from the 1932 Brighton congress, both the blue and green are perforated, but for some reason the red is not, so far I have never seen a perforated red stamp for sale, Phil then called round for a drink and a chat, as I got up disaster struck,
