Day 3.079: Sealed with a Glasgow kiss?

In probably the most bizarre moment of our time in the US, we received this card in the mail today. It was posted in Washington State and has travelled 2300 miles instead of the intended 4300 miles to arrive 3000 miles away from its intended destination in Scotland in a house of British people.

How it came to be here is frankly a mystery. The handwriting is a little difficult to decipher and the address should really say "U.K." I'm sure, but on the other hand, it says "AIRMAIL" and that doesn't look so much like zip-code surely? The rest of the address bears a passing resemblance to this one - so marks for effort (and thanks for the blog material), but maybe a little more time on handwriting decoding and geography might be in order.

    That IS strange... Is it even close to being your address? Did you open it? :-)

    That postcode is two streets away from where my dad was brought up - Kirklee Road.

    Andy P: no way! But thanks for making it seem like I have readers from every neighbourhood in the world!

    GvR: House number, First letter of street name and 'Ave' are the same. And our zip code looks a bit like the postcode :) No we didn't open it, we'll take it to the post office to try to get it actually flown across the Atlantic!
