£5m stamp will never be licked..

IT'S WORLD'S PRICIEST

This unique stamp might be tiny but it's set to be sold for a small fortune - a massive £5million.

The Treskilling Yellow is the world's most expensive stamp.

Tipping the scales at just 0.03 grams, it is thought to be the most valuable thing on the planet by weight.

It was printed yellow by mistake and is being shown at London's Festival of Stamps in Islington until Saturday before being auctioned in Geneva next week.

A senior auctioneer said the 1855 Swedish treasure would fetch an "exceptional price - but it is a one-off".

More affordable is a set of 12 Royal Mail stamps honouring the efforts of wartime Britain. Winston Churchill is included in the series marking the 70th anniversary of the Blitz.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

If you were a printer in the late 1800s you would think you would have the sense to knock out a few the wrong colour just to keep the family sweet in a hundred years or so. :whistle
Call it a pension fund.....for your great,great,great grandson. :chuckle
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Yes, but then because there were "a few" and not just one they would be worth infinately less and so it wouldn't work. :sad:
