Army dreamers
‘Has anyone considered the fate of those poor servicemen and women living overseas using British Forces Post Office addresses?’ says Dave Crump, following our thread on postcodes and the difficulty of entering addresses into web sites that do not recognise your code.
‘A good game is to try to work out how to change your address to BFPO 65, London, when most of the databases won’t accept it. Suggestions please, on a postcard to Dave, BFPO 65, London – if you can work out how to send it.’
And has anyone considered those poor bailiffs?
Recently Dan Hobbs found a letter from a debt collector threatening to come round at a more unsociable hour if they did not ring his office immediately. Trouble was, the bailiff had posted the letter in the wrong door, and the debtor was hiding under the sofa at the other end of the street.
When Dan called to point this out, he explained that he posted it in Dan’s letterbox because ‘my SatNav said it was here’.
