A stamp that can't find its way around Europe
It's slightly disquieting if postal services don't know their geography, but this is what has apparently happened in Ireland. The new stamp celebrating the new EU countries depict the old members in blue and the new ones in yellow. On the above detail, you can see Malta off Italy, but what is Crete, which is a Greek island, doing there? Well, apparently it's meant to be Cyprus, but it both looks like and is located where Crete actually resides.
The producers deny there is any error, and claims "artistic licence." Let's hope that is not what they do with people's letters.
