British stamps have acquired bar codes this year - but fortunately not all of them. No-one in our post offices (counters in a newsagent and a general shop) can tell us what they are for.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to one and all.
Don't forget to follow the links at Sunday Stamps for more Christmas stamps.

Maybe that code is showing that Mary and the Angels are double vaxxed??
They are pretty stamps, though.
Here the postage labels have barcodes - they prevent the labels from being used again even if they haven't been franked. I'm not a fan, either, although Royal Mail's implementation is better than La Poste's.
So those bar codes remain a mystery...
This year's stamps have grown on me. I don't like the barcode either and apparently if it gets franked then the scanner can't read them. The German post changed their franking colour to get around the problem; a bit too straightforward for Royal Mail.
