i recieved an e-mail off a friend i made on my european tour ...he lives in texas, & is a universitery counseller ....ive been e-mailing quite a few people i met on that holiday, now he's just asked me for my snail mail address? so that he can send me postcards.from his travels ........now ive sat & pondered about this ....does he mean my home address.?........(which im quite willing to give him ). or am i being thick as usual ........leave the quips out ....neil...chav...& rindy roo.

The answer is yes he is after your home address.
Do you have any other address apart from e-mail and home ?

Yeh Mez its a postal address, called snail because of its slowness. Blimey you will end up a few countries behind lol postacards from abroad take absolutely ages, usually you always get them a few week after the sender has come home pmsl

Actually Mez, just wondered if was a trendy thing to do for your friends in Australia. Is it a British thing to send postcards whilst on holiday ? Was brought up to do this, however, can't be bothered these days, always seems an interruption to me hols., but love to get them (Will forward me snail address)

Presume you won't be picking up the fat lady ones.. tee hee.

Also, got mean now about bringing presents back from hols. Used to be just a stick of rock, but seems you can spend a whole afternoon looking for presents for friends and family and finish up with something made in China, even though you may have visited Venice ! Too stressful. Ok I'm probably just a misery guts.

Yeh ain't that the nightmare, i come back from my hols 3 weeks ago [or so] & only things i spent was pressies [mainly for kids & close relations/friends] although the kids would of had a nice experience if i hadnt checked the rock before buying it [thanks for my mate to tell me before i did hehehe] or they would of been piddled with the alchofrolic rock hehehehee

Thankfully no children were harmed or drunk with their kiddie rocks

some internet companies use Snail Mail to send Verifications and such rubbish,if i remember correctly N.E.T.I.B.A. is one, don,t know what the hell the purpose is but thats what they do.so it has to be home address.
