How the heck do you put that on an envelope to post.

See how I used post instead of mail...just for you EA....I believe you guys say post instead of mail correct?
Yes, we do say post. I have gone down to our receptionists and asked them to "post this" or has the post arrived.
Blank looks all round.

They do say the Americans and English are two people divided by a common language.

BTW, that place in Wales usually gets shortened to Llanfair.

I can't spell big words, I have enough trouble with the small ones! Spell Check is my best friend but you have to at least get in the ball park or Spell Check just says "WTF is it you are trying to say??!". I'm pretty sure that one day my whole system is just going to shut down because I've asked Spell Check to correct one to many words!
