There is a flaw at the 2nd stamp bottom row on crown
There are 16 perforations along the bottom where there should only be 15
I may be going blind, or even crazy, but I see only fourteen perf teeth along the bottom edge.
"I may be going blind, or even crazy, but I see only fourteen perf teeth along the bottom edge."
That was my first move, fourteen perf teeth per stamp across the bottom.
Not sure if I am counting correctly perhaps, but I see 15 (on mine) from edge to edge and 16 on the given picture. If you count using your method, do you see one less on mine than on Machinhigh's?
Is it a Booklet Pane x 2 uncut?
CONGRATULATIONS to ''Berchinite'' he gave the correct answer yes it is indeed a un-cut pane of 20 1st Class Millennium booklet stamps.and will be sent a Prestige Booklet pane.
Shucks, I thought for sure it was a newly discovered Imperial German Helmet Variety and was about to pull my file of loose millennials to see if one was just sitting there awaiting discovery.
...hens teeth? chicken lips here, BTW that's not a hen, I thinks is the queen of the brits.
well...that what we say in Glasgow ..''well hello there hen'' lol
Jings! Crivvens! Help Ma Boab! (East of Scotland expressions).
I was right.
Hey Jimmy Stitch That, By The Way. (West of Scotland expressions).
I deal with a gentleman from Edinburgh and it cracks me up every time I ask him where he's from...Edinbara... he replies.
OK now that we've touched on Scottish regional dialect catch this....if you can
''a pun o burra fur ma murra doon ra barras in at ra morra''
Why are the most obvious things the hardest to spot? I was sure it had something to do with the perforations, never occurred to me that separating them was the key.
Well done 'Berchinite'!
Brechinite me bonny laddie Glasgow is on the west coast lol
Machinhigh:-
Did you do the night class course of Stanley Baxters' Parliammo Glasgow ?
To be totally and utterly pedantic and a complete smarty pants:-
"Glasgow is in the West of Scotland NOT on the West Coast of Scotland. Glasgow has no coastline it just lies on a titchy wee river called the river Clyde."
To Quote my mother " You just didn't go to the right school. Did you?" (Ha Ha Ha)
For a translation of the "Scots phrase" Machinhigh presented.
"I shall fetch a pound of butter, for my mother, from the Barras tommorrow"
The Barras is the name of a marketplace in Glasgow.
The best advice my dad gave me was that knowledge doesn't take up any space, is good to learn something new every day. By those standard it is safe to assume that New York is not on the east coast but on the Hudson river.
hell....I have a translator in me midst...lol
"... it is safe to assume that New York is not on the east coast but on the Hudson river ..."
Here's one elementary phrase for beginners "a perra perrs fell oana flaer".
These phrases were started by a Scottish comedian called Stanley Baxter under a sketch called Parliammo Glasgow, a take off of a programme called Parliammo Italiano (teaching Italian) on the TV at the time.
Just loved Baxters rendition of "song of/on the Clyde".
The Itchy wee river me east coast Scottish man refers to is famous beyond belief it also has on its banks Dumbarton Castle a hiding place of Robert the Bruce where he begat the inspiration watching a spider making it's web ''if you do not succeed the first time try try again'' which led him to victory at the battle of Stirling Bridge, As for the School ...it was bloody magic lol, how do I know this I was born there.
Aye Machinhigh, so yer a West Coaster.
I used to pass the castle as I headed into work in Glasgow when I stayed in Garelochhead.
I came back to the East cos I was growing webs between ma fingers cos its aye rainin there like AND the midges were sucking too much of the royal blood, ken.
He's fell is da water...
here is a key item in my collections it is as scarce as hens teeth now you tell me what it is or should have been. There is a obvious clue within the image. I will offer a Prestige booklet pane to the one who emails me first with the correct answer. I'll be waiting...
