Stamps and Postal History of the Isle of Man 

Another great video and I learned a lot about Isle of Man and the history of the area.😀

Another great video Richard! I really enjoyed learning about all the postal history you covered and about the Isle of Man 😄

👏👏👏 I loved this video! So glad you got to travel there in person. You did so much xtremephilately! I like your travel footage, and the waves on that seawall (and post card) were certainly impressive! I like reading the old messages on post cards too... Just a glimpse into another person's personal everyday life. Very great video keep it up!

Richard i think the Viking shown on the stamp commemorating the inaugaration of Manx postal services as the first Manx postman on his first delivery round delivering mail sent by sea.People didn't have letterboxes for their post so he has an axe to make a slit in the door through which he can put the letters. 🙂 Another very interesting and well done presentation.

Thank you Richard. I enjoyed this video.

Another well-researched episode. Now I want the four Man Machins!

Love the Manx Loaghtan wool hat! I won't try to pronounce it. 😅 Another interesting episode, so much philatelic adventure in this one, well done! One day I hope to visit the Isle of Man for the TT race. Oh and thank you for the postcard! I imagine that it was dropped off at one of those postboxes in this video 😊

Great video, really enjoyed it👍👍👍👍

Again very good vid! Thanks Richard!

Great video Richard, can't wait to watch more :-)

Hi Richard. I really enjoy the subjects you cover and the refreshing way you deliver your presentation. Don’t change anything and keep making these interesting videos. Maybe you’ll come down under one day? Cheers, Murray (N.Z.)

Another informative episode Richard. Love the vlogging too 😉

Another excellent and informative video! You seem to have a knack for finding topics to dig into that even experienced (older 😃) collectors may not be aware of. Thanks!

A fascinating episode! Keep them coming, please! I’m so amazed that you actually flew to the island. By the way, the ‘D’ in 3D is pronounced pence (or ‘penny’ if just 1). Also, a 1/2 pence is pronounced ‘haypenny’ - a contraction of half penny.

The Peaky Blinders are coming!😱.😂... suits you sir! Suits you! 👍 Ok am really impressed with your drive and focus to tour the islands! It's cool. What inspired you to choose the islands? I'm similarly interested in collecting the Turkic countries (Turkiye, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan). I'm focusing on anything Ottoman and also have started contacting postal services in those countries to collect covers. But I think it will be a while before I can hop on a plane and visit them..but maybe some day.. The old used postcards - the text about the photograph I think the word after first class was "result". Are you only interested in old Islands postcards or any UK ones? I quite like the idea of reading the messages - gives a great idea about the culture. You'll be happy to know, with my postcrossing cards, I write so much that I run out of space and the message climbs up the sides... Anyway, another great vid..thanks!

Nice episode 😍

Really interesting video! and I hope that you could travel to Singapore and study our complicated postal history! Great philatelic journey too! 😁 Best regards philately65

i think your postcard says - a first class result

Hmm so 1870 Isle of Man Postal service was faster than the modern day New Zealand service! lol
