    Got a post card from Austria all written in German
    Looks like its from someone called Julia

    Its sent to someone called Tom Peck ( or possibly Pick ) but then the rest of the address is correct apart from one digit in the post code ( that post code doesnt exist - I checked)

    We have lived here for 13 years and the previous owners werent called Peck either and I dont know any Pecks on our road

    so how is my address on a postcard written all in German to someone I have never heard of
