Reuse any envelope, yes, but cut out an unfranked five year old stamp from another envelope and glue it on, NO. :shock:
How do you know it's 5 years old?
Because First Class definitive stamps with a large '1st' in the top left, rather than the usual small '1st' in the lower left, were sold for a limited time after being issued in August 2006 when Pricing In Proportion was introduced. :Very Happy
My post office was selling them on Saturday, the ones with the bold 1 like a large letter.

There's still a bold '1st' on all the "1st Large" stamps but not on the ordinary "1st" stamps for under 240 x 165 x 5 mm and less than 100g. :Very Happy

So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

No, because the Queen likes this version, first used in 1967, so much she won't have any other. :Very Happy

Well, I like the photo I had on my first driving licence and passport, but they still wanted an updated one after 10 years! Who does she think she is?! :wink:
