My friend bought me this about 20 years ago. Only the red stamps have faded.

  1. From the sun or washed off by a dishwasher do you think?

  2. It’s actually quite interesting why this happens. Red absorbs blue light and others which are shorter in wavelength, the more energy it absorbs compared to other colours means the red pigment in the paint is eroded faster.

    That’s why red cars always faded faster than other ones back before paint tech became a lot better.

  3. I remember the 1st class being 9p and second class being 7p. Soo long ago.

  4. Ahhh, back when postage was cheap! I nearly cried at the price of stamps the other week 😭

    Tbf, I actually really like this mug, and I love the fact that you’ve been using it for so long – if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!

  5. When I used to dye my hair all sorts of unnatural colours, red always faded the fastest.
