Following the recent announcement of stamps based on characters from the Star Wars franchise, Royal Mail have clarified that there are no plans for a similar commemorative edition of stamps based on Nuns on the Run.
Excitement was high amongst both Nuns on the Runs fans that the Star Wars stamps were just a precursor to a set of stamps based on the hilarious 1990 classic.
“Yeah, this is disappointing, to be honest,” said Martin Nichols, founder of the Nuns on the Run fan club, southern England division.
“After the Star Wars ones, I felt sure we were going to get the Nuns ones. I don’t understand why Royal Mail won’t do them. I mean, stamps with Eric Idle and Robbie Coltrane on them? Dressed as nuns? Who wouldn’t want to receive a letter with Eric Idle or Robbie Coltrane dressed as nuns on the stamp?
“No-one, that’s who.”
Marina Taylor, the other member of the Nuns on the Run fan club, southern England division, echoed Mr Nichols’ statements.
“It’s a bleeding disgrace,” she shouted, clearly angry.
“I got a little frame for them and everything. IF they weren’t going to do Nuns on the Run stamps, they shouldn’t have said they were.”
On being advised that there was never an announcement of Nuns on the Run stamps, Ms Taylor became angrier.
“Well there bleeding well should have been, shouldn’t there.”
The Royal Mail also confirmed it had no plans for stamps based on Sex Lies of the Potato Men, the Spice Girls movie or anything starring Danny Dyer.
So, stop asking.
