Royal Mail Delivers Letter with Only a Map for an Address

Envelope Holy crap. A Welsh man sent a letter to a friend in Cornwall with no address or even the name of a town on the envelope — just a map with an arrow labelled “somewhere here” — and it arrived after only nine days, thanks to a Royal Mail employee who recognized the name. Freakish. Via Boing Boing.

I heard of a couple of college buddies who tried mailing objects to each other without wrapping them as a joke. They affxed stamps and wrote the address directly on oranges, pumpkins, a bicycle, and other stuff. all apparently got there without a glitch. I think at one point they tried to mail a bowl of soup and the post office said “Enough!”

Must be the Cartography.
Though the boundary between Somerset and Devon is a little vague.

There are a few hiccups with the services too.
