--- Comment #17 from John Hunter <[email protected]> --- Just to add a comment to Comment 15: "Post Town" is embedded in the Post code and in most cases it will be different from the "Address Town". For example, my address is Middle Cottage, Downington, Lechlade, Glos GL7 3DL; I live in Lechlade and that is where I would like my mail delivered; the "post town" is GLoucester where the sorting used to take place --- sorting is now done by machinery in another town, Swindon. It would be less confusing for UK users if "Post Town" were to be replaced by "Town". The British addressing system goes back almost as far as Doomsday; an attempt to formalise it was made around the time of Henry VIII when he formally set up the Royal Mail. In 1840, addressing had to be sort of standardised with the increase in traffic as a result of the introduction of the penny post. The last major rationalisation was in the 1960's with the introduction of Post Codes; this was followed by the redrawing of county boundaries in 1974. By now the "new order" is fully accepted. Any deviation of the accepted standard is considered archaic or even impolite! John Hunter -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
