![]() ![]() In the 19th century, inviting contractors to tender for mail routes proved very effective, and they provided the transport and drivers that operated to strict demands of time. These have been the favoured forms of mail transport for much of the past five centuries. Even greater volumes of mail entailed the use of horse-drawn carts and then vans for road transport, as well as the early adoption of railways, while sailing ships carried the mail still farther, across the globe. The earliest method of transport for mail was by foot, but increased distance and a greater volume of letters led to the employment of horses. The Royal Mail Heritage: Transport set of stamps reflects the movement of mail via methods of transport. From SSKs other stamps can be printed with monetary values for a variety of services including Special Delivery and parcels. The labels can be obtained with 6 different service indicators: 1st class up to 100g & 1st class Large up to 100g, a dual-value Europe up to 20g/World up to 10g, Europe 60g, Worldwide 20g, and Worldwide 60g. ![]() The labels will be used in Post & Go machines at Post Offices around the country, and from Royal Mail machines at Enquiry Offices, Museums and Spring Stampex. The first Post & Go machine was trialled in The Galleries Post Office® in Bristol in 2008. Post & Go stamps are sold from Post Office Self-Service Kiosks (SSK), which allow customers to weigh their letters and packets, pay for and print postage stamps and stationery supplies, often without the need to visit the counter. The Winter set in November will show Hibernating Animals, the summer set will show Ladybirds and the first set, issued coincident with Spring Stampex and the Royal Mail 500 commemorations features Royal Mail transport through the ages. In 2016 the subject matter and pictorial designs for Post & Go will vary. Pictorial Post & Go stamps appear in machines in UK Post Offices for defined periods of time in the year and this series is intended to provide attractive stamps that are appropriate for the season in which they are issued.

The author is asking him to “lead by example” because she believes he needs to “fess up that he messed up with Meghan Markle.” And because he “lacks credibility,” it diminishes his message, even though he was writing the letter in support of the young team. “So when Prince William does not do what’s needed in protecting his own sister-in-law from racism, which he says has no place in our society, then why in heavens should anyone believe him when he’s responding to young people or the rest of the public about his feelings about racism.” ![]() “The problem with William is that he lacks real credibility on race, racism and race relations because he did not tackle the racism under his own roof, in his own family,” she explained while noting that the royal family and colonialism have a dark history together.
