Well, that's true of the UK, maybe not in other countries. We don't have addresses like "Womble Cottage, Middle of Nowhere, UK," even if the cottage is, in fact, in the middle of nowhere. In a few minutes I'm going to map a farm that's approximately 1 km from the outskirts of a village (I just took a break from mapping to check mail). From all I can tell, the postal address for Trefwtial is Blaenannerch, despite being approx 1 km from it, and the hamlet of Tremain being maybe half that distance. In the UK, historic (and perhaps no longer existent) parish boundaries play a part in determining which hamlet/village/town an isolated farm is regarded as being part of. At least as far as its postal address goes. -- Paul
