I remember a job offer from Germany being sent to my then UK address without the country written in full, but with the postcode BEFORE the town and GB- before the postcode.

But the address on letters from the bank in Spain is really mangled, and the bank has told us that two letters have been returned as undeliverable in the last two months. What is annoying is that even their own staff in the branch office in Xàtiva have no possibility to format the address correctly. I think as soon as we have researched for better alternatives, we'll be changing bank!

The zip code, is listed incorrectly behind the town, but it gets delivered. As a matter of fact, we moved from one address to another one, same street though, 13 years ago and we still receive mail addressed to the old one. Yes, I have told my friends to note the new address, but it goes unnoticed as the street name is the same. Maybe our postal clerks here in Oberursel are more international than the international companies you deal with. :) We get wrongly addressed mail too, but then only from the U.S.A.

This helped me :) I suppose this problem doesn't occur after I upgraded my iTunes to latest version 9.0.3(15). Coz when I rename or change anything in my song info, the folders get arranged accordingly without leaving any extra copies. I had many duplicate files due to the older version of iTunes. Your post helped me remove those... Thanks again. Cheers, Tej Hey,

The local roads are nice & slippery. Main roads are clear. At least we have no hills. Makes me happy to work from Home Office.

We had been asking ourselves where all the price reductions were in Spain! We have now bought a plot of land near Xàtiva and are trying to find an architect to design the house we want to build there! Thanks Liuk – that is interesting to hear.
