Philately will get you nowhere
One hundred and sixty-seven years ago today, the UK issued the first adhesive postage stamp, the “Penny Black”.
One hundred sixty-six years and three hundred sixty-four days ago, the first philatelist stuck one in an album rather than on a letter.
Then again, any stamp you buy and don’t actually use represents pure profit for the Post Office, so it’s not like it’s a complete waste of time.
