575969 2007-08-03 00:21:00 Yes. Metla (12)
575970 2007-08-03 00:49:00 Yes. The post code will identify where you are. somebody (208)
575971 2007-08-03 02:46:00 The street number and name and the city should reach you if it reaches NZ.

Someone once realised he was well known when a letter from another country reached him with only his name on the envelope. I forget who that was. It wasn't Paris Hilton; it was someone who had achieved things rather than just being notorious.

575973 2007-08-03 03:28:00 It was someone internationally known. Someone like Bertrand Russsell or Albert Einstein, or Carl Sagan. ;) Graham L (2)
575974 2007-08-03 03:45:00 Oh, I thought you meant an internationally-known NZer.

So opting out of "whole world" guesses.

575975 2007-08-03 03:53:00 I suspect that most "internationally known NZers " are known by fewer people internationally than NZers believe. ;) The world's a big place, with a lot of people. Graham L (2)
575976 2007-08-03 03:58:00 I get mail just addressed to my 5+4 zip code....we used to call it "SuperZip", but they decided it wasn't.


92582-1140

Does that make me famous-er?

I bet I could send something to "Metla" and get it delivered though!

575977 2007-08-03 04:15:00 The ZIP code is an exact address, down to the subunit of the street address . That was not "you" as the addressee; it was the letterbox .

You have an internationally famous (or at least findable) letterbox, Joe .
