Very adroit there Collin, you had me dashing for the Oxford pocket.
Thanks for improving my lexicon.
We have a suburb called Glenelg a Pallindrome

I am still chasing a word for the curiosity when a persons name matches their employment, I am sure someone mentioned it years ago but I am still searching.
eg: Mr. Skull who works at the hospital.

Please advise if you know of any other pallindromes on stamps

the phenomenon is called 'Nominative Determinism'.

Two examples that I've come across in the last couple of months are:

Dr Mellon – food scientist
Prof. A. Bass - author of a scientific report on fish sounds (noted also by this week's by New Scientist).

I guess that I am being picky, but the commemorative envelope has the words palindromic date above the 08-08-08. that is not a palindrome.

sorry for the OCD moment, but perhaps it is better than a senior moment.
