I'm on a roll, think I'll go buy a lottery ticket

Give mine to the next one in line. I already have a set.

Saves me making a label and paying some postage. But are you sure you don't want some extras for your collection?

Cheers Niner, my e.mail will fill you in OK?

Amazing. It costs exactly the same to mail the same weight package from Alabama to Australia as it does to England.

One address was U.K. and others to the same locality were addressed as England. The clerk asked me what was the difference.... and I said... darned if I knew but I just addressed them the way I was told by each.

England is a componant part of the U.K., however, as far as overseas post is concerned, there is probably no difference as they will share a common point of entry into the UK, however, it is possible that post to Scotland or Northern Ireland may well have different arrival points (these might also take a proportion of the 'UK' traffic, but of that I'm unsure*)

Welsh post, I believe is dispatched with that for England.

Does that make sense?

I noticed that the UK mailing addresses took up six lines for each of the addresses. In the US, at most, four lines will do and mostly three is enough with city, state and zip all on the same bottom line. I imagine in the UK they have your address down pat in any case with all the information on the envelope whether or not the people in the US know the difference between England and the U.K. .
