  2. Love the scene on the Indonesian with the postcards flying out of posties bag.

    Funny you should say that about prisons one of GB’s issues this year was the Tower of London, although admittedly not of the cells, but the accompanying mini sheet did feature four stamps of famous people who were incarcerated there.
