Royal Mail under siege 1 Reported at www.euronews.com Shares in IDS, the owner of Royal Mail, rose after reports that it has received - and rejected - a bid from Czech billionaire Daniel Křetínský. UK postal and courier service, Royal Mail, has received a takeover bid from Daniel Křetínský, a Czech billionaire who has also invested in Sainsbury’s and West Ham United Football Club.

SG Ireland 2023 Edition Paperback, 135 pages, 8th edition RRP A$ TBA I always get a little bit extra excited whenever a new Irish catalogue or handbook arrives on my desk and this new SG edition is no exception. It’s been almost five years since the 7th edition was published and we find that this new volume has increased by 29 pages over the last one. Of course new issues take up several pages as the do with any catalogue, but in this case it’s only around a third of the total page increase, with the September 2023 Cancer research issue being the last ‘regular’ set included and the second ‘Art on a stamp’ series issued the same month being the last ‘SOAR’ set covered. So, I hear you ask,…

philatelic news Split Enz was New Zealand’s first internationally recognised band. Revered and influential to this day, they were true originals who created their own sound and style of performance from the time they formed as Split Ends in 1972. In 1975, Split Enz recorded their debut album Mental Notes, now seen by many as an early masterpiece. But it was with 1980’s True Colours that the band truly arrived on the world stage. Tim Finn’s songs Shark Attack, I Hope I Never and Poor Boy became staples of the live set, while Neil Finn contributed the band’s biggest hit, I Got You. True Colours also ushered in the era of Eddie Rayner’s instrumentals, which featured on all subsequent Enz albums. True Colours was in heavy rotation on college radio…

2024 SEPAC Åland Post Åland have produced a stunning SEPAC issue this year, with an equally stunning first day cover. The stamp shows a summer panorama of the Åland archipelago with its bare rocks, leafy skerries, bridges, sailboats, and sparse settlements. The archipelago attracts thousands of tourists to Åland every year, and this unique island world in the Baltic Sea is formed by many islands, shallow bays, and bay systems. In the Archipelago Sea between the main group of islands – called Fasta Åland – and “Skiftet”, which constitutes the border with Finland, we find an estimated 6,700 islands with an area of over 2,500 m² and around 20,000 islands and islets smaller than 0.25 ha.
