Thanks for the card buffy.

:)

(It needed a surname or at least my surname’s initial – the PO had it pigeonholed under “M” for “Michael”.)

But…the Post Office’s own instructions do not require a surname. They require a “recipient name”.

‘S-ok.

Granddaughter recently sent her wedding invitation to us addressed “Nanna & Pop” (with our address but no surname).

Unfortunately, the PO pigeonholes are not by address – they are by family name.

that seems a very backwards way of sorting the mail at your local post office.
