Hi People of the forum.
I have had some mail returned to me which has some cryptic handwriting on it. The usual reason for return sticker is absent. Instead I see:
"aTS" (or "OTS"? ) scrawled in large blue crayon over the original recipients address. Definitely not an 'R' for return!
To the right of the recipients address is a date, time, and the following text "N/AP/L TK (Ts?) WALK (Walls / Walln ?) 28"
Any light you might be able to throw on this would be much appreciated.!
Thanks very much
Dan

Advance to sender?
N/a is probably no access
Walk 28 is probably the number of the walk/round the address is part of.
Was the post to a business or private address?
