I had an interesting experience some months ago. 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
