Delivered post last week to one property called Orchard Glade on Wednesday, Orchard Cottage on Thursday and Orchard Lodge on Saturday. Wonder what it will be called next week!
How about "The Orchard" - just about covers the lot :Very Happy

Whenever RM has redesignated a post town or area someone will always pipe up saying they live in "this" area not "that" area and how can RM treat me this way etc etc. The RM reply is invariably is that how it designates areas for the purposes of post deliveries is totally unrelated to physical boundaries etc, therefore it's of no consequence to customers.
Similarly should this daft sod actually want to add "Snobslive'ere" between his name and 13 Hogwash Lane, RM really won't care....
