They're changing our postcodes round here - Cambridge, like Paris, has a postcode system which mainly goes out in spokes from a point in the middle (the old main sorting office, now Petersfield Mansions); but unlike Paris (and I really don't want to start detailing the ways Cambridge is unlike Paris) has no outer circle. So my postcode at work is only one subdivision away from my postcode at home; and my work postcode is in the same subdivision as a village about 8 miles distant... Now that we appear to be the Building Capital of the South-East, the Post Office is in imminent danger of running out of postcodes, so the outer circle has been designated as '20-land' - CB21-25 ...
And to that end the kind people at the Royal Mail, in conjunction with the Able-Label people who evidently have nooooo interest in postcode changes, none at all (hey, maybe I can send them back the 500 labels they did for me two weeks before the change was announced...), have sent out some sticky labels with the new postcode on it, and a leaflet.
In a resealable envelope. Which has then been heat-sealed to ensure it is no longer resealable... WTF?
