JULIAN H. STACEY's Postal Addresses.

Sometimes you might want to embed my phone number in my address, in case of unexpected delivery difficulties: Post/ Customs extra import tax), Delivery problems whatever. (Sometimes I do the same when sending stuff abroad, then even if the address is wrong, & it goes to a neighbour, that neighbour can easily phone correct recipient). ((Best not give full international +49 89 12345678 as many locals in many countries are ignorant of international phone number represenation.

You may need to remove the space between Ho__ & Str before some deficient map services will work. (Germans often ram lots of words together, discarding all spaces, making it a lot harder to find seperate words in dictionaries. They call the resultant impediment to look up & learn words `proper' German grammer ;-) )

You'll need number in street, phone or email me for that.

Germans use a ü (U umlaut) to spell München, but for the rest of the world, clueless & uninteressted in Umlauts, dont just ignore those annoying dots (natural first tendency of non Germans ) ), use the standard German convention of swapping "ü" for "ue".

A Post code belongs where the "12345" bit is.

• If you'r travelling to meet me, you don't usually need it.
• If you've emailed me to arrange to post something, I'll have mailed you the postcode.
• If you need the postcode, you can find it in other places or I'll tell you.
• I don't give it here as identity theft fraud is increasingly common, let's make it just slightly harder for `them'. Not much admittedly, but if we all make data just a bit harder to harvest, (or even plant the odd bit of deliberately false info ?), it'll slow fraudsters down, (though not stop them).

The German Post Office does Not require that you include ( Bayern (Bavaria),) but it does no harm, & I think it adds human information, (& also adds a failsafe fallback in case a digit get obfuscated ), (Just as I also appreciate seeing a full USA State name rather than some 2 letter mnemonic I probably do not know).

Yes most people know Germany is in Europe but there's probably a few in USA & other places too. After Paris Texas, nothing surprises ;-) & it gives a place to link to the EU web site an ever more important regulator of European business etc.

I may be in Britain or Germany or elsewhere:

• Britain is currently inside the European Union & may be outside soon, possibly with or without transitional arrangements, (turmoil since [first] Brexit referendum, when the UK government stole 3.7 million votes from British abroad, then lied to the EU it was `Democratic').
• Germany is inside the European Union.

USA is outside the European Union.
Customs delays, fees, & forms can impede post.

From You To Me

• Do not post me anything without prior agreement. I accept no responsibility to receive or collect anything. I may not be in the country you think I am to receive stuff.
• Be aware that customs might hold stuff until I collect them & pay a fee.
• Travelling to pay the fee & collect in person is time consuming, & causes delay.
• Append my phone number (in brackets) after my name in my postal address, so it won't get stuck in customs, without me knowing it's arrived !)
