Ripon is a lovely town, they would NEVER use a marker there ! As you can see, a nice central cancel and a knowledgable Yorkshire postman is all it takes !  Nice one. Londonbus1...a right monkey !  |

I heard they were putting these out (probably on this forum). I like it. It beats our labels here in the USA. |

Its a label, it has replaced the boring old white labels. I quite like it.  |

By the way that's not a very nice central cancel, that's someone put the label into the machine squint - it should print parallel to the edges if its inserted straight! |

It's the very scarce "tilting to the right" issue  Lb..you're just a sweet talker. |

Agreed, it's a bit angled, but compared to some others I have seen, pretty clear.
It's just so enormous ! |

I thought I'd better edit that post....
Anyway, while we're on the subject, Londonbus I'm posting your stamps tomorrow. I assume you want nice stamps on the cover, but if you'd rather one of these, let me know... |

Nice stamps would be preferable.
Your stamps will go on Sunday as it is New Year Holiday here.
Thanks

It's 1000% better than the typical American 'obliterated beyond recognition' option available in the US. |

As a direct comparison, the label on the other book Stampgal sourced for me came from Exmouth (down my way near Devon) and it is the Avery white label with 4 security knife roulettes. (makes the Machinosaurus look great in comparison)  The Book (rates as a two pepper)   |
