Royal Mail delivers letter with no address, just a map #8yrsago

Image

A Welsh steelworker addressed a Christmas card to an old friend by drawing a map showing the approximate location of the town his friend had moved to – and the crafty Royal Mail actually delivered the card in nine days. The map sported the addressee’s name and a dot in north-east Cornwall with the legend “SOMEWHERE HERE.”

Update: Bob sez, “Envelopes: A Puzzling Journey Through the Royal Mail (by Harriet Russell) is an entire (and quite charming) book devoted to one woman’s attempt to challenge the Royal Mail’s tenacity in reliably mail delivery. In it are visuals of beautifully rendered puzzles that she challenged the Royal Mail to solve in order to reveal the address. Of the 130 envelopes she sent, 120 were delivered successfully. I’m a print designer so it was a snap for me to geek out on the beautiful hand rendering, not to mention how the puzzle designs get tougher to solve.”

Cat paw print discovered on Gloucester Roman roof tile

A paw print made by a cat in Roman times has been discovered on a 2,000 year old roof tile in Gloucester.

It was dug up in Berkeley Street in 1969 but the footprint has only just been discovered.

The print was found by an archaeologist at Gloucester City Museum who was examining thousands of fragments of Roman roof tile.

The cat is thought to have snuck across the wet tiles which were drying in the sun in about AD100.

The tile, a type called tegula, was used on the roof of a building in what became the Berkeley Street area of modern Gloucester, a spokesman said. Read more.
