Strange destination

Probably Irish then....

Apropos of nothing really:

HTH -

Confusing it with Co Down I suppose.

I wonder where he thinks the piddle valley is?

Having said that, us here on the outskirts of London have issues as the Surrey county council seem to think we are in Surrey because the post office insist that surrey is in the address, but the post code has us in London which we are of course.

The Post Office still think that Middlesex exists, too.

And for the Londoners, is County Hall in Ireland/N Ireland?

The Post Office, rightly IMO, don't waste everybody's time changing postal = addresses according to the ephemeral whims of political boundary changes. B= ut it's difficult to get people to understand that their postal address mer= ely indicates the delivery round.

Reverting to the OP, IU that people living in New Mexico have difficulty wi= th suppliers who refuse to post "outside the USA".

I suspect that of being an urban legend. Most Americans are pretty clued up about America.

OTOH, when my Aunt was living in the American state of Georgia, she used to have great trouble buying a stamp for letters to us - we were living in South Georgia

You think?

I'm astonished that the postie is prepared to deliver there!

I don't think that I've ever been in contact with someone who has been there - if you can call this contact. What did you do there?

I know, I am rambo1152.

And in this week of Patrick Moore's passing, I wonder how many people think that Herstmonceux is overseas.

Cinemas Online has insisted for years that our nearest cinema is Iveagh Movie Studios, Banbridge, Co. Down, Northern Ireland and our second nearest is Empire Cinemas, 242 High Street, Bromley, Kent, BR1 1PG

Actually the Royal Mail gave up on counties some time ago - the post town (which might not be a town!) is followed by only the postcode - no county.

Always seems particularly odd when the post code is in another country - SY (Shrewsbury) extends for a huge part of Wales. Am surprised that the Welsh assembly has not made changing this a priority.

I think they have.

Shrewsbury isn't in Wales at all these days.

Some of the Caulkheads on the Isle of Wight don't like coming under the PO postcode which is based around Portsmouth.
