Do you know where you live?

| | Comments (5)
Do you know where you live? That may seem like an odd question, but judging by some of the stuff Keith's found in our backend systems it might be a valid question to ask. NB: I have no way of seeing who supplied this information as we just ran queries on a section of the table... Ireland has 32 counties. 26 counties in the Republic and 6 in Northern Ireland.. or at least it used to have... According to some people the land mass has expanded considerably. While I know that some of the confusion may stem from wording on a website I still fail to see how "region/county" could have led to some of these gems (in all cases the country selected was "Ireland") | 9666663696h | << em.

Just this morning I got a letter from Revenue addressed to the previous owner of the house. Despite the fact we've lived her for almost 3 years!

Revenue certainly don't know where those people live!

I take it 'na' n/a' and 'none' were from God?

I remember once a letter arriving in RTE addressed to

webmaster
at
rte.ie

Now there is a crossing of cultures... :-)

Donncha - I get stuff addressed to people who haven't been at this address in years as well

Richard - Lovely combo

When I lived in Fota we used to get mail addressed to all sorts of weird variations on our surname and very little else... You'd be lucky if the word "Fota" appeared - yet we still got the mail

Maybe you mean it in jest but:
