My inner anarchist

MargaretX - "My post code comes before the town's name "

Wherever are you? Outside the UK? UK addresses follow the form
Street address, Locality (if used), Post Town, Post Code (on a separate line).
County names are not used.

I've been my daughter many times on the phone as she's been tied up with babies and I've had the time, at work, to spend ages getting through to people.

Love the phone number idea. Thanks for that.
I'd never used a house number until I moved to the mainland - just the house name. How a postman could do his job I don't know because those were the days before postcodes as well.
If I'm feeling iffy I put in an old postcode of mine but the correct road and town address. Have never discovered whether that works or not
