I have posted this image before,

I suppose when you're King, (and a nice bloke to boot)
you can pick up stamps with your fingers,
and plop stamp albums on top of each other (eek!)

But personally, a few nights in the Tower may
encourage a more disciplined behaviour for mine.

Nice card Rodney!

Imagine dressing in your Admiral of the Fleet's uniform to inspect your stamp collection!

He took off his wedding ring. He must have known better that to touch.

Well if he is to be punished for touching the stamps we can't send him to the Tower, it's the first place they will look, so let's take him to Edinburgh Castle

Caption suggestion:

'It's a rare Germania double impression. We had to destroy Germany to get it, but it was worth it.'

As for touching, in all fairness, it looks like a slabbed stamp

Mum told me that if I saved up enough of this one, I could have my ears bobbed.

I notice it is the secretary who is actually touching the stamp. H.M. is reaching for it but not touching. And no doubt he knew better than to pile stock books on top of stock books.

And from one with biggish ears himself I would say you could signal the fleet's ships with those beauties. They are in the full steam ahead position at present.
