Gustamps salesman offered Mr. Freston a mixed lot of all different mint & used stamps ranging from Queen Victoria to date - Mr. Freston was surprised to see unusual Royal Mail stamps depicting characters from children's books such as Peter Rabbit and Padington Bear. Mr. Freston said to Gustamps' salesperson "whatever will they bring out next - the Muppets?" Gustamps' salesperson  told Mr. Freston that the United States Post Office have already done that.
