Stamp design competition
David Gold, director, external affairs and policy, Royal Mail, writes:
I hope parents will encourage their children to take part in Royal Mail’s stamp design competition, to honour the heroes of the pandemic.
The competition is open to children aged four to 14.
Eight designs will be chosen to become stamps, which will be on sale across the UK.
Children may choose to illustrate frontline workers in health or social care. They may want to celebrate other key workers who have kept the country going, such as refuse collectors, cleaners, teachers, supermarket workers, public transport staff, delivery drivers or, indeed, postmen and postwomen.
They have all had the perfect opportunity to spend time every day outside (giving them a good reason to be outside other than for exercise) but it seems barely any of these dogs know their own names. The owners don’t even know how to train them, when all it would take is a little search on Google.
And now I’m angry. Over the last two days I have received a rope burn from uncontrollable dogs who are left to tear across Hackney Marshes, completely ignoring the calls (together with laughter of) of “Benjiiiiiii Biscuitttttttttt.” After confronting one owner after I’d received a burn on my hand (he was wearing big thick gloves so as not to get the same) he told me, “We’re going to take him to classes.”
