Re: living people appearing on stamps. After showing Sir Francis Chichester on a stamp in 1967, Roger Taylor (in the background of a Freddie Mercury stamp) in 1999 and England's World Cup winning Rugby Union team in 2003, all whilst still living, the Royal Mail abandonned the rule preventing living people (other than members of the Royal Family) from appearing on stamps in October 2005 to coincide with the commemorative Ashes winning stamps.

Could I take this opportunity to wish all Magazine readers a happy new year from all of us gathered below the musty rafters of Shandy Hall. The hungry maw of news can go without feeding for a few days at least.
Tristram Shandy, Shandy Hall

Cheers Tristram, how's your nose?
Imogen, London

Imogen, like life, it's a rather pointed joke. Yours to 2007, as above. Exeunt omnes.
Tristram Shandy, Shandy Hall
