Fake UK stamps blamed on Chinese-made counterfeits
BBC  https://www.bbc.com › news › business-68786782
                Apr 11, 2024 — Barcoded stamps were introduced in 2022 to cut down on the sale of fakes and Mr Gold said this had reduced the number of counterfeits by 90%.
 >>>   Dodgy stamps and Chinese whispers. 2024-04-16 - ... For supposed experts to call the production of fake British stamps 'economic warfare' by the Chinese Communist ...
 >>>    While there's nothing inherently dodgy about buying books of stamps retail from third party sellers, official stamps are only sold wholesale ...
              I was watching a BBC (?) segment about these fake stamps, and the news-caster used the word [dodgy]  (or "dodgey"?)   several times,  and wondered ... that  word  must mean  "suspicious"...
Then i thought...   the surname  Dodgeson  must be (must have been)
          a pretty goofy sounding name...   almost like  "Goofman" ?
i also remembered a scene from my fav (Altman) movie  [Gosford Park], where the Maggie-Smith says...  "The Dodger ?"
