Hello
Hoping someone can answer a question for me?
If there is an unfranked stamp with a pen scribble through it, would it be the sorting office or the postman/woman responsible?
Thanks in advance

Yes.
They should be cancelled by the processing machines. But if missed to Protect revenue staff are encouraged to cancel them.
To use one again would be fraudulent. They usually have a sticky that pulls through the stamp if someone attempts to take it off the envelope or package.

I was wrong. I incorrectly assumed that it was the post person  |

"My friend takes infranked stamps off of envelopes and reuses them. She sent me something a couple of months ago and I'm sure the stamp was about five years old "

"If they scribble across it in biro, does that constitute defacing an image of the Queen?
They should be tied to a post and shot slowly.
No
It was a joke  "
I guessed  |

I know of someone who worked a Friday night shift alone in a cheque clearing centre, receiving the deliveries that would be processed on the Sunday night...
....to while away the time inbetween van arrivals, they would go through the skips in the area where postal credit card payments were handled, checking all the envelopes that had gone through the machines which opened them and extracted the contents during the week...
....they collected and successfully re-used well over £800 worth of unfranked stamps - completely covering the postage which they charged on all their eBay sales for more than two years...  |
