The Royal Mail give seven mistakes which can make a
postal address incorrect, of which one is 'Do not put the Post town in lower
case.'

Yet things where this "mistake" has been made get through, the
majority of postal items I see.

Do not punctuate

Nothing wrong with that.

Do not use the words 'near' or 'by' (I suppose you have to if you are
sending something to Stoke by Clare or Stoke-by-Nayland)

Ditto.

Do not leave the Postcode incomplete

So they don't want people to be helpful by supplying as much
information as they have. No wonder they are in trouble.
