You can be sure that at any one time in Ireland, you’re standing near someone who knows someone that you know. That person is more than likely your cousin.
It’s a small place, everyone knows everyone.
So this isn’t the first time a story about the quaint services of An Post and local postmen has gone viral. But this one, we have to say, really takes the biscuit.
Nicole Lally was the recipient of the letter which, in lieu of an address, is adorned with a description of Nicole’s adobe.
Nicole shared the image on Facebook where she said:
I was amused/mortified when the postman showed up this morning and hand-delivered this Christmas card from my friend who was delighted to have made a holy show of me! Thanks to my local postman Celcius who knew immediately who to deliver the card to when the supervisor read out the “address”. Absolutely made my day, An Post have been great sports to find me, cheers!
Celcius, undeniably, deserves a bonus for delivering this.
The full description of Nicole’s whereabouts are:
“Ya know yer wan, Her mother’s Hogan from Castleblarney, but the daughter’s an ex-townie. Grew up in Athlone and moved to Ballymacward when she got married. Lives next door to her in-laws now.
