Ports and post codes

[vilakins]

I just saw on teletext (TV text news) that NZ is building a new prison in Port Vila. :-P Apparently the two existing ones are "on their last legs". I think Vila would prefer them that way. For that matter, he'd also rather it was the other sort of port that was named after him.

And NZ has just revamped all its post codes. [rolls eyes] I now have to order new address stamps and stickers. Oh joy, though a better system was needed. So, those of you who have my snail-mail addy, my post code is no longer 1005, but 1072.

This reminds me, I still need to get my parent's snail mail address.

As kalypso_v mentioned, we had a change of post codes in 1992 or 1993. I cannot really remember. It changed from 2100 Hamburg 90 to 21077 Hamburg or something like that. We do have one code for this town (69469 Weinheim) and there are many codes for Hamburg. Good to know, huh? I have no idea why I keep blabbering about this...

I think I was Frankfurt 6100.

Tell me which street your parents live in, and I can find their code. Or you can type their number and street here (http://www.nzpost.co.nz/Cultures/en-NZ/OnlineTools/PostCodeFinder/) and type their address in (including number) and it will come up. :-) Put 'Auckland' in the city, but leave the suburb blank; some have changed for postal addresses.
