Special Delivery

A few years ago someone called Steve Smith met a German girl while he was on holiday in Spain. One of a million similiar meetings.
Back in Germany Angela lost Steve's address. But she wrote to him all the same. She simply put his name and telephone number on the envelope.
There are twenty-seven pages of Smiths in the London telephone directory and the Post Office handles about fifty million letters a day.
But this letter arrived in Steve's letterbox only four days later.
Steve and Angela were obviously very grateful to the Post Office. They were married the next year.
But the Post Office prefer it if you address the envelope in the conventional way.
