I have to share a funny email I got from a friend the other day. She lives in London and I mailed her a letter...but it took some time to arrive and was kind of battered looking when it arrived to her.

You see when l wrote this letter to her I accidently forgot to put England or the UK on it. Like she said to me "You see, you did what I or any European would have done, subconciously assumed that everyone knew the existence of one of the worlds largest and most cosmopolitan cities in the world and therefore wrote only 'London' and not the 'UK' or England on the last address line.So it apppears that my card travelled some distance to reach me as the Northern American postal service firstly sent it to London, Ontario. There was a little note saying address not found in London Ontario, then someone else had written try the UK and someone else, maybe not knowing the UK, had wrote try England. HEE hee. Perhaps it is likely that all this travelling took place within a large sorting centre, but I like to think it went to Ontario first!"

Thanks for sharing Ruth. You should make a childrens story out of it someday!
