My cousin received a postcard earlier this week.

It featured a nice b & w photo of the Liverpool overhead railway.

However, what caught my eye was the postage stamp, which featured a scene from "Blackadder" with R. Atkinson and his mates.

Heads up to all fans and stamp collectors.

Watching people getting free healthcare over the border in Canada has become a very popular fetish in America apparently. It seems it became a major thing there after Netflix released a series called "Drive to Survive", which I can only assume alludes to the concept of driving north over the border for better healthcare.

I had a cunning plan and managed to order the first day covers for them - having started looking again after getting the Flying Scotsman one earlier in the year.
