As the trial of Machin Head Horizon labels came to an end (yesterday) we decided to get a cover with the lowest possible value, by pre-stamping the cover with £4.94-worth of Machin adhesives, thus producing the £0.01 label.
Ian, yes very interesting.. but are we losing the plot.. me included of course.. :-)
who cares.. maybe someone with more money than sense will buy this "unique" exhibit.. we can keep creating "unique" exhibits these days - and again me included with my A380 covers for example -
oh to the days or real philately.. or am I just getting bored with the whole scene? :-) I admire your patience and commitment I have to say
Best wishes .......... Michael
Ps see you in London in 2010... maybe..if I am still with it :-)
