We have to deliver as addressed,is there an 'avenue' there? If there is you could be in trouble.
Some offices could send it back because it is a special delivery,some will realise the mistake and deliver.
Tbh it's a toss up on what the postie who deals with them is like.
But as the post code is right the chances are good,if there is no 'avenue' there.
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.
My BFF Clash
The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

When I've searched on Google earth on the place no Avenue pops up only Drive so there doesn't appear to be one in the area , I haven't got an
A to Z of the city to check though :(
