Hello Kathie Thanks for letting us in England know about this. I have just sent a birthday card and present to Canada and no one in the Post Office told me about that. Regards Ellen Nottingham England

Well I can certain see some inconsistencies with our Canada Post. I received a number of holiday greeting cards this year from the UK that didn't have return addresses, but how would I know which ones didn't make it here? To where would they return the cards if there were no return address anyway? Back in the mid-1980s when postal codes were introduced I remember an ad campaign ascertaining that so long as the correct postal code was on one's letter, it would be delivered to its rightful owner. I sent a Christmas card to some friends who were sharing a house. As there were 3 of them, all single and thus having different surnames, I simply addressed the envelope to the 3 of them by forename only, plus the name of the dog. I included the exact street address, city, province and postal code. The letter was returned undelivered with a note that it was 'undeliverable' due to the absence of a recognized surname. You figure.
