The other tradition is that the Kings don’t tend to wear a crown on coins whereas the Queens do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 I was reading something about postboxes the other day (go me!).The majority of them have the ER cypher but there are still quite a lot from previous Monarch's, including a fair amount of VR ones. I was wondering if there will be that many with Charles' cypher on, because in truth, how many new post boxes go up? I guess replacement ones for old ones or ones that have been driven into!

Yeah, they will last for decades he'll only get ones which are rotted beyond the point of no return or as you say damaged. But then thinking about it, they must put them up in new housing estates. I bet for example Dickens Heath has a fair few brand new post boxes. But really, I mean actual post, is that still a thing? I haven't posted anything for as least 2 years etc Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz As an aside apparently George VI shillings were still legal tender until 1991. I mean, that's modern times innit.

The pikeys keep stealing post boxes around our way , presumably for the scrap value ,unless they are avid collectors of postal memorabilia so I'd imagine these will get replaced with CR versions , should royal mail decide to replace them Edited October 1, 2022 by tonyh29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ml1dch Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 (edited) I don't really have an opinion on Chuck3 doing speeches, but it's definitely interesting that if any Prime Minister of the last 70 years had asked the monarch not to so something for political reasons, it wouldn't have been immediately leaked to the press. Took about two weeks for things to be different. Edited October 1, 2022 by ml1dch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 I wasn’t upset about the queens death, I mean why would I be. She had a good life and seemed nice enough. I definitely support the monarchy though . It’s a big part of us and gives us a lot of identity. I think the uk is better for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
