You can actually buy blocks of just one nation ie blocks of stamps with the Cornish flag on, but can you use these Manx in the UK? Isle of Man Post is issuing a set of stamps which will celebrates the links between the Isle of Man and other Celtic nations. The eight stamps feature National flags of Mann, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, Brittany, Ireland, Asturies and Galicia. Sets of stamps can be ordered now with the date of release of May 12th and there will a special 'Interceltique' Sheetlet and set of 8 Postcards produced in August this year to coincide with the 2008 Lorient Interceltique Festival in Brittany. Isle of Man will be cooperating with Manx cultural groups to ensure a presence in Lorient to market the stamp issue. A text accompanying the stamps sets has been written by Dr Brian Stowell a prominent figure in both the Celtic Congress and Celtic League who is well known for his regular contribution to the Manx language section in each issue of Carn. Illustrations of the stamp issue and details of how to order can be found at the Isle of Man Post site at: http://www.gov.im/post/stamps/FutureIssue.aspx?categoryid=164 J B Moffatt Director of Information Celtic League 18/04/08 The Celtic League has branches in the six Celtic Countries.

My P.O. checked this out for me and the I.O.M. sales office told me it would be fine. I posted a letter off to myself and it came back safe and sound. Since then I've used these Kernow stamps all the time and they're just great.
