Wackily addressed letter that Royal Mail dutifully delivers. Should have thrown it in the bin.

The US will not deliver cryptically addressed letters like this. Blame Ripley's Believe It Or Not. (There was a rash of oddly addressed letters meant to be sent to them--ripped envelopes and the like--in the Forties and Fifties, and the post office finally got fed up with it.)

Much of Britain has not moved on from the forties and fifties yet.

i got a letter once where it had my name and "PURVEYOR OF ALL EVIL" written next to it, but fortunately the address was written properly

I've actually had quirkily addressed letters delivered several times, usually with a cute proclamation of victory added by the postal worker, although nothing *quite* this cryptic.
