Royal Mail has unveiled a new money making scheme... Babies By Post.



Clear evidence that British royalty are not like normal people. These royals had their daughter sent by post as seen by the "Delivered by Royal Mail" postmark.
Cue a hundred countries with no connection with Britain or royalty producing stamps of no value or artistic merit.

At least the slogan is clear and collectible. Here in the United States that USPS seems to have a great deal of problem with their spray on slogans. Most are unreadable.

Seriously, though, in 2015 is that the most legible print they can manage? It's like when home computers first came out, and you had to print on those massive pages with the green lines and holes down the sides.

Probably not, but improvement would come at a cost. These are high speed, high volume, government procured systems, and balancing all factors, they are deemed "good enough."
