1 July 2011


We are the boys who will stop your little game - Many years ago I, like many other boys of my age had a brief spell of collecting stamps. My Dad arranged for a company to send me a regular book of stamps from around the world on approval. Normally he would buy the whole book for me each time, which would cost about £1. I recently found one of these books of approvals which included three German stamps from 1941 with a certain Mr Hitler on them, and no, it's not Eddie! The price to buy these three stamps was a grand 4p, or 9d in old money. Luckily, not long after this I discovered Glam Rock and music became my new hobby. Some hobbies stay with you for life!
