Postmen follow vague map directions to the letter

POSTMEN used their map-reading expertise to ensure delivery of a letter that was simply marked with a name and a drawing, the Royal Mail has said.

A map of Cornwall, Devon and Somerset was sketched on the envelope with a dot drawn in north Cornwall and an arrow saying, “Somewhere Here.”

Postal workers in Bude, north Cornwall, managed to pinpoint the right address and deliver the letter. It was from a long-lost work colleague, but sadly for the recipient, Peter O’Leary, the sender failed to enclose his own address for a reply.
