Here is an interesting and striking 1979 envelope from Trinidad and Tobago to an office in Scotland with an inverted metric slogan postmark. The cancellation urges postal users to "Start Thinking Metric Now" and the postal workers seemed to be so preoccupied with this that they failed to note the slogan was put into the postmarking device upside-down. The totally non-philatelic 30 July cover is from Empire Sales and Agencies Ltd. in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad, BWI, to an engineering firm in Monifieth, Scotland.

The airmail franking of 45c includes an attractive 5c International Year of the Child stamp depicting day care and a 40c definitive depicting a flamingo. The cover has typical mainly minor wear and creasing from international postal handling and heavy offset inking from the postmark on the back.

An attractive Trinidad and Tobago, metric conversion, postmark error and Year of the Child cover.

Because eBay is now taking a 10 per cent commission on postage paid (in addition to PayPal's 4 per cent-plus), I have reluctantly had to increase my postage rates to cover the cost of postage and board-backed envelope. However I am not raising my domestic postage prices for small items despite the latest increase.

As I now have an eBay shop anyone who purchases one of my items might want to look there before paying. Additional postage is free for subsequent purchases unless they are too big for my normal very low basic rates. If you are buying more than one item please wait for me to send an invoice so I can combine postage.

When payment for lots won is received by teatime British time (it is usually dished up about 4:30) I normally post the item the next morning. Our village post office is closed on Saturdays, however, so if you pay on Friday the item cannot go out until the following Monday.
