I received a letter at my home which was addressed (the words) to my work (u. of Western Ontario). Looking at the letter closely, I saw the postal code was for my home. Automated systems had delivered the letter to the bin/ whatever for my home street, and the post delivery person then READ the address to decide which house it should have gone to. She recog- nised my name, fortunately. It proves the postal codes actually get used, anyway. And I have a good mail person. Julian Davies
