Couple amazed to receive Christmas card with address listed as ‘somewhere near the sea’
Royal Mail managed to deliver the vague letter in just four days
A COUPLE were stunned when they received a Christmas card addressed only to “somewhere near the sea in Suffolk”.
Antony Wren, 42, received the card in post just four days after it was sent from an ex-colleague who didn’t have their new address.
The sender even wrote “good luck with that postie” at the bottom of the envelope.
Antony, from Lowestoft, told the : “It took four days to reach us… really quite impressive.
“In July 2013 we moved up to Lowestoft and sent out our new address in Christmas cards.
“Obviously some of those cards must’ve gone missing and our friend and ex-colleague clearly has lost our new address but remembered we were moving to somewhere near the sea in Suffolk.”
He tweeted Royal Mail and the Post Office to thank them for delivering the card despite the vague details.
It comes as Post Office workers voted to stage a five-day strike starting next Monday.
Thousands of staff will walk out in a dispute over jobs, pensions and branch closures.
The action will begin on 19 December and include Christmas Eve.
Union bosses have already warned the strike will disrupt deliveries in the run-up to Christmas.
But they say the action is necessary to save people’s jobs as more than 6,000 Post Offices have closed since 2002.
