00:02 - Morning, Mrs. Eakson.

00:03 - Oh, good morning.

00:05 - Roses are doing very well out there.

00:07 - It's this.

00:08 I wrote this letter last week.

00:10 - Let's have a look.

00:11 Well, you didn't put the name of the town.

00:14 What do you think we are, thought readers?

00:19 - Seems incredible, doesn't it?

00:21 But this sort of thing happens every day.

00:23 Now, this is how it should be done.

00:25 The name of the town in capital letters,

00:28 followed by the name of the county.

00:30 And if it's for abroad,

00:31 the name of the country in capital letters.

00:35 Don't forget the right stamp.

00:37 It's all very simple and it saves so much time.

00:40 Do try, please.
