"and then re-posted "
Once received a letter to my house number and street name - but for a different town about 20 miles away with a post code that only shared the initial city letters.
So I wrote on the envelope in large letters "not xxxxx town" - and dropped it in a mail box. A few days it came through the letterbox again. As it appeared to be possibly important I put it in a larger envelope and put stamps on it to try to make sure it reached the correct destination - which presumably it did.
Last Xmas someone knocked at the door with a package for me - which they were delivering by hand as they were passing. It was perfectly addressed to me. However - Royal Mail had delivered it to the same numbered house in a street which was a "xxxx Court" rather than my "xxxx Road" - in a different town about 12 miles away. The postcode only shared the initial two city letters
