Brand new stamps issued by Royal Mail have had to be recalled after an embarrassing spelling mistake was spotted. Reams of the commemorative stamps have been printed with an adjoining image of the Needles and the words 'Isle of White' underneath. Red faced Royal Mail has now had to recall the stamps, which were produced for St Georges Day, to correct the mistake. The error is likely to have cost the company thousands but Royal Mail is refusing to say how much. The stamps had already been issued to post offices across the country ahead of their official launch on Monday. For those of us who are not familiar with this island it is the Isle of Wight! And not White!!
