Thanks Anon.....makes perfect sense to me now. Typical of An Post. I don't know how often the postman has delivered letters to my address that clearly stated a different address on the envelope or they're addressed to a person who does'nt even live at my address.........and as for the junk mail......I think we call that spam here, but I always thought spam was a sort of meat that you bought in a tin.
P.S. Did you ever see the film The Postman Always Rings Twice?......yeh Jack Nicholson always delivered the goods properly.
