In the grip of Giro

Sir: I hope Peter J. Smith (1 August—'In the grip of the system') and other Giro specialists will not have missed the advertisement in the Sunday papers recently for the present com- memorative postage stamps: 'The Post Office offer you a Penny Black, a Shilling Green and a Fourpenny Carmine for 4/2' is the headline. In the small print: Payment for orders over 5/- may also be made National Giro', etc. M. Hepper Tismoyle Cottage, Wittersham, Tenterden, Kent
