Absolutely. Sometimes they look like they've been burnt into the
stamp. Maybe that was the first true reference to "going postal", a
postal clerk taking his / her frustration out on a £1 or £5 Vickie.
I reviewed said comments from previous posts and found that Sir Rien
is "almost" right, considering the number of people who have stated
that the cancel should be socked on the stamp, but doesn't have to
square up to perfection. It would be a small collection indeed if
that requirement were in effect.
