Impressed with Royal Mail service & UK postcode system
A couple of weeks ago my uncle forwarded all my mails from home to London. Accidentally he wrote down the wrong postcode, but fortunately Royal Mail is kind enough to make the correction and delivered the mail. On Saturday no less. The mail arrived a day after reading an article how Royal Mail pride themselves for their record of delivering badly addressed mails.
Those who don't know it, the UK postcode system is deadly accurate, a single character mistake could land your mail in a different area. Just by entering the postcode you can pinpoint the location of a building in UK. This is why directory like MultiMap, Streetmap, or Google Maps is really usefull. Try entering these postcodes: EC3V 0EJ (my recruitment agent) or SE1 2QL (where I work).
