YOU ARE BIDDING ON A VERY RARE BANNOCKBURN BURNS NICHT SPECIAL PROOF.

INK COLOUR AND PAPER (TAKEN FROM THE STANLEY GIBBONS STAMP COLOUR KEY, 1986, ITEM No. 2530): BRONZE ON BLACK PAPER

CATALOGUE NUMBER (IF KNOWN): BPP 125

BANNOCKBURN AND DISTRICT DELIVERY SERVICE

With the commencement of the British Postal strike on the 19^th January 1971 a book dealer and seller Robert McCutcheon was suddenly without any postal service and could not supply his customers. He had to quickly find a way to send and have delivered his goods over certain routes. At the same time, he arranged to deliver other items of mail which also include parcels for other people in the area. Special Bannockburn stamps and labels were produced. General issue stamps (see my other auctions) were prepared and issued on the 26^th January 1971 and there were no remainders in stock when the strike ended. The stamps, in sheets of 12 were printed by the Scottish printers: Paul’s of Falkirk and The Journal Press of Stirling. There are known varieties of some of these stamps.

The “BURNS NICHT” stamps were issued and available for one day only: 25^th January 1971 and are very rare and highly sought after. Special presentation proofs printed on various coloured card and paper were also produced. All of these were imperforate. For some of these only 12 copies of each were produced and for others only one is known to exist making these very rare and collectable.

BRITISH POSTAL STRIKE DESCRIPTION

The 1971 United Kingdom postal workers strike was a strike in the United Kingdom staged by postal workers between January and March 1971.

The strike was Britain's first national postal strike and began after postal workers demanded a pay rise of 15-20% then walked out after Post Office managers made a lower offer. The strike began on 20 January and lasted for seven weeks, finally ending with an agreement on Thursday 4 March. After voting over the weekend, the strikers returned to work on Monday 8 March 1971. The strike overlapped with the introduction of decimal currency in the U.K.

A wide range of officially licensed and unlicensed private posts operated during the strike to fill the gap left by the withdrawal of official postal services. Some were genuine commercial services that provided local, national and international deliveries.

Although local mail deliveries were possible in some areas, either where the postmen did not go on strike or as some gradually returned to work, the bulk of the country's postal services came to a complete halt.

The Government announced that the Post Office's monopoly on carrying letters would be suspended for the duration of the strike. Several hundred private posts were set up throughout the country; some of these were of course "philatelic", but many operated with efficiency and transported significant quantities of mail, although normally at a much higher price than the normal first class rate. A number of these posts linked up in an "Association of Mail Services" which provided for transmission of letters from post to post across the country, and also to overseas destinations. Considerable use was also made of the existing alternatives, and of course the Armed Forces had their own postal arrangements.

The strike dragged on for seven weeks as the Union and the Post Office were unable to agree. Eventually, faced with rapidly worsening finances, the Union Executive proposed a public enquiry as a peace plan to Employment Secretary Robert Carr. A ballot resulted in a majority for ending the strike, and postmen were told to return to work at 9am, Monday 8th March.

The disruption of services caused by the strike produced a wide range of interesting material. Much is rarer than a "Post Office Mauritius" -- and while it may not have the same 'philatelic pedigree', arguably it has much greater postal significance, as these items represent the only services available for a major country for a seven week period, longer than the Uniform 4d Post!
