Royal Mail
Further to a conversation earlier about Royal Mail, on the TV during the D-Day memorial service an old chap who served on landing craft was telling his story and it was the same as my dads. So I wrote to him last Thursday using the address: His name, D-Day Veteran, Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Royal Mail delivered it to him this morning. Fantastic. They were on ships side by side.
Nurse, the screens!

He rang me and we talked for 25 minutes. It was amazing.
Our daughter is a WW1 fanatic. She will have seen your Facebook entry.

Re: Royal Mail
Lovely for you and him I'd say. And all down to the Royal Mail. Wonderful. R-

Re: Royal Mail
Royal Mail and the Post Office as was had a reputation for being able to deliver to the most vague of addresses. I think they had a special department that took great pride in finding folk from the merest of clues on the envelope.
Re: Royal Mail
How about this one:-
In the 1940's my uncle played football for England amateurs, and incidentally for Sutton Utd.
England went on tour to Canada.
A fan wrote a letter to "Charlie, king of the amateurs" that's all - he got it, with pride. Memory is a great asset.

Re: Royal Mail
When I worked in the Post Office (many moons ago), at every Office there was a very early copy of ‘Bradshaws’. It was invaluable.
