The British post is issuing Dr. Who stamps to commorate the 50th anniversary of the show. All the Doctors will be honored. I'd give my eye teeth for the David Tennant one. I shall have to be on the lookout!
Well, we are (hopefully), but we will be in Manchester and Dover just long enough to leave. I don't know if there will be time - unless Wales uses the same royal mail post... I'm rubbish with such things.
Nah course they're royal mail, its the same country and besides even if it weren't having separate postal services for each section of the UK would be stupid as you'd have to go through different organisations with different prices essentially if you wanted to send a letter to any of your relatives, it would be vastly inefficient.....and the royal mail manages being inefficient to such a high standard without adding further complications I find. It will be exactly the same in Wales they'll just maybe have a welsh accent, besides its doctor who, the Wales tourist board probably suggested the doctor who stamps. They'll be selling them in cardiff , possibly in the royal mail ianto Jones memorial post office.
It would have to be Portmeirion for us as we will be driving straight there. Maybe they will have them for sale in The Prisoner Store... stranger things have happened, like finding stuffed Shawn and Gromit in a tiny store in Vermont.
Portmeirion appear to be on a royal mail stamp of their own anyway, so its possible they'll be trying to shift their own portmeirion looking ones, or the god awful ones of wills and Kate it being not that far from Anglesey, but Wales is so doctor who orientated I'd be surprised if there weren't some knocking about.
At work when you ask Google maps for a map of the entire of Britain it always takes you to a Google street view of Portmeirion which you have to zoom out of, I can only assume its some sort of inescapable prisoner joke.
I look forward to seeing your photos,I've never been to portmeirion only seen it on the telly, but it looks so wonderfully strange and Mediterranean.
If I'd been dropped there like the prisoner id see why he'd be confused its so not like being in Britain, but then sort of is, its strangely off putting in a beautifully eerie way like you'd have no idea which way home was- it doesn't make historical or geographical sense
I was going to give him a coffee place, but there was already the blue box cafe and I think that's a better name for a place to get coffee, and a post office, a nice neat cosy welsh post office is something ianto would have wanted I feel.
Icon love: i saw the hobbit and all i kept thinking was how mitchell forced george to kill him so he could holiday in new zealand, i got very bitter as the movie wore on.
Im good for that petition as long as it includes an addendum that nothing Gwen like shall ever darken its doors
I was more baffled by the way they let James Nesbitt keep his own accent but made Turner use some vaguely northern-ish English accent. Why? But I didn't mind too much as I was mainly lusting over Richard Armitage. :-)

You don't know how much I want this to be real.
edit: in fact, I propose we start a petition
