[AccessD] Geography revisited

Good day Arthur,

Just to follow on from what Andy has written about the postal address
formatting in the UK.

I think Andy meant to write "The street number _precedes" the street name".

Some addresses may have a house name instead of, or as well as, a street
number.

ie "Bramwell"
   1 Portmore Park Road


Major cities often have their own "county" name which is the same as the
city name ie London, Manchester,.....

Best regards!

Chris Foote

Arthur, England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland have counties as their main
geographic unit. The street number follows the street name. Also the
postcode (your zip) comes at the end of the address (but before country if
sending from abroad), which is not true elsewhere, hence

Mr Bloggs
1 High St
Little Place
Mytown
Unpronounceableshire
UT6 7YOY


As for Singapore, were you perhaps thinking of Hong Kong?
