sorry if this is not the place but it gets ever such a lot of traffic - but i read something that has made me so mad!

all of the Gold medal winners for the olympics will get their own stamps (EXCELLENT!!) go team GB!!

NONE of the paralympic winners will get an individual stamp at all, (but will share in a general 6) and Royal Mail have defended this saying "We're honoured to be celebrating the achievements of ParalympicsGB. We will be doing more than any other postal administration in history to celebrate the Paralympic Games"

How in this day and age is that acceptable? The idea that competing in the paralympics is not as much of an achievement as competing in the Olympics.

And while you're all getting cross about that. What about the special Olympics?

The stamps are only available in comemorative packs & are going to gather dust in stamp collector's books, not really any point in most people owning them. I wouldn't worry about that!

Better case wrt painting letter boxes gold.

Mary mary, I don't see how group stamps will be a any quicker to produce than individual ones?
