Ummmm... I don't follow the symbols . Are you joshing me? And I believe I misconstrued your original response which I now  think was a wry comment. Sorry.,mate. And I probably do need a bit of spoon feeding. I'm getting over a stroke (sort of ) and I'm 82.

Yes, I was joshing with that last comment. But I was serious with the writing neatly bit, especially the digit '1' and the digit '7' if they feature in the address. In some regions of Germany their '1' is written in a way that looks like a '7' to us, so if hand addressing you want to to make sure they're clearly distinct:

 

German 1s 

 

I apologise for the spoon-feed comment - although intended only in a metphorical sense, your comment has reminded me I do take my uninhibited mobility for granted at times. Unfortunately this means I'm just as likely to find my foot in my mouth as my spoon (another metaphor).
