Great Britain was the first county to issue postage stamps, on 1 May 1840. Hence, UK stamps are the only stamps in the world not to bear the name of the country of origin. |

I always thought the "Bless you" after sneezing was connected with the plague - sneezing was one of the symptoms. As in the rhyme "Ring a ring a roses, a pocket full of posies, atishoo, atishoo, we all fall down"" - also connected with the plague |
