Such passion on a simple topic :purple_heart:

My 0.02 what ever enables more game play options without getting silly is best

It’s not that simple :slight_smile:

15 and 16th century

England

Henry VIII -----> Elizabeth I -----> No Heir

Scotland

James Stuart IV and Margaret Tudor(Henry VIII’s older sister -----> James V -----> Mary Queen of Scots and Lord Darnley(cousins) ( Mary gets her head chopped off by Elizabeth I, her cousin) -----> James VI with both Stuart and Tudor blood unites the Scottish and English crowns in 1603.

Great Britain

Charles I ( head chopped off)
Cromwell
Charles II
James II and VII

Catholics/Protestant

Glorious Revolution of 1688

Jacobite rebellions

Mary and William( Protestants and Cousins with Stuart and Tudor blood)

Anne, the last Stuart

Act of Settlement 1701 barring Catholics from the throne

Act of Union 1707

Fast forward 250 years past the Germans on the throne and a postbox gets blown up with Stuart and Tudor blood and the weight of 300 years of history in its symbolism.

Well this is fecking annoying

Come on uk reviewers, temporary? Its a post box, it aint moving anytime soon. Oh and i think they will find that is the correct monarch and time he was kn the throne (although, i just noticed i missed the word rare at the end lol)

I’m Surprised that there are any ER Vlll not submitted since they are few in number.
Yes poor reviewing. They have chosen to reject under the question permanent and distinct. So it wasn’t to the temporary part but to the distinct part as presumably they have just seen ER and gone no.
What did you have for the title?

Rare edward viii cypher (try to avoid saying postbox so emily doesnt just insta reject it)

As for why it hadnt been submitted alteady, it was in a random cul de sac in bishoppbriggs, only reason i found it was i was going to destroy some machine and passed it lol

Ah hidden in a cul de sac.
Oh well try again

Historic Scotland has 10 that are listed, I’m not sure how many others are still left beyond the wall.

Tobermory

I think getting the light correct so that the VIII stand out a bit? Like @elijustrying said you probably just got enough quick clicks from people seeing the ER.

Wait, what happened with Spain and postboxes? I’m confused.

Nada.
