Thanks to Paul M for this link. It seems as though the Irish Post Office has issued a new stamp to celebrate the EU expansion. The stamp features a map of Europe with the new member countries in a different colour to the existing ones. Sadly they appear to have put Cyprus in the wrong place. D’oh! Anyway they still insist that there is no mistake. Thought provoking! Which brings me to another thought, why don’t we have EU stamps for within the EU. You know stamps that you can buy and use in any EU country? source: Yahoo! News
