Illicit Postcard Sales

OutaSpaceman draws to my attention the story of Harry Bensley. There is much that is delightful in this wikipedia article, but for some reason my favourite bit is when “he was arrested in Bexleyheath, Kent, for selling postcards without a licence”. By the way, in the picture below, he is the one wearing the armorial helmet (with added signage).

  1. I’m not aware of a Wikipedia entry for Dobson, however it occurs to me that Wikipedia embodies the dobsonian spirit, in that it it encourages people to pontificate on subjects of which they are wholly ignorant. Had he been alive today I am certain he would approve.
