just to let you know

addressing the nation

Aren't UK addresses incredibly long ? Anyone who has ever seen german addresses knows what I'm on about. Let me give you a fictive example, but I swear that it's based on an existing postal address.

Mr & Mrs. Wuthers
The Maple Stables
Old Farnsworth Path
Middlefritham (near Clusson)
XD7 89HY
England

Gorgeous, isn't it ? Usually addresses merely help you to find a location - but a lot of addresses in the UK do more: they tell you a story and seem to say: "Oh go away with all this modern nonsense !".
