Somewhere in the back of my mind are ‘green shield stamps’ - can’t remember what they were for

sad stories about TV licence stamps,I recall many many years ago buying these stamps.
Homes were regular burgled and things that were stolen were tv licence stamps,and because their was no proper records of buying these stamps they lost the monies they had forked out.

The tv licence stamps stopped in 2006.
The car tax stamps continued until 2013.

I’d never heard of these.
I pay monthly by direct debit, all done online so no more tucking the licence under the telly!

Goodness - that’s a blast from the past!
I can remember buying those and car tax stamps way back when. It helped budget as I was paying for 5 tv licenses and 4 lots of road fund (car) licenses - the old discs.
