Only on St Helena

Most places are organised into have street names and house numbers - making it easier to find homes etc. St Helena has a few street names, but as everyone knows where everyone else lives, there are no adresses as such. This was brought home to me very forcefully this evening. There was an official letter from the education department (with government stamp on it) and the address on the envelope simply read, Danielle Stevens, Jamestown. What amazed me even more, was that the letter was not delivered to her home, but to the manse.....
