I'm looking forward to at least a few of these. I know at least some of you on here are a fan of at least one of these themes!

Especially the ones with “Eddie”. I was a big fan of them when I was young (many years ago, sigh).

The new definitive stamps featuring King Charles will be issued on 4th April - the day after the postage rate rise comes into effect. Not a happy bunny, but silver-lining is the worldwide weight limit for the first band of airmail will be 100g! and therefore for letters over 20g, the rate will be decreased!
1st 95p to £1.10 2nd 68p to 75p Airmail £1.85 to £2.20 (100g outside Europe £2.55 to £2.20) Surface mail for outside Europe, £1.60 to £2.00

Postage rate rise in the UK on 3rd April 2023, oh what fun! Good grief! It's "nice" to be able to send up to 100g for a single price internationally - but those are some international price increases. Not worth the weight increase, to be fair, as that really punishes letters just going across the Channel. Domestic increases seem to be not as bad, but still fairly steep.
