one omits the post town then it'll get through, especially if one is
posting from within that post town - e.g. London.)
It's amazing what parts of the address can be omitted, and still have the
item reach the destination! My personal favourite was the letter which
had (something like) the following on it :-
Mr & Mrs Smith
The house with the white(?) door opposite the church
$VILLAGE
Incorrect, albeit not massively, postcode ...
A few years ago, someone wrote just my name on an envelope, meaning to add
the address later. She forgot to do so and posted it in a town some 10
miles from where I live in suburban Surrey.
It arrived the next day.
