I hope that these requirements do not rely on the postal service, of which I can give an example, although admittedly it is rather old now. When I was offered my knighthood, a letter came from No. 10 Downing Street addressed with the wrong postal code. It was 12 days before I received the letter, which said that I had to reply by return. Obviously I thought that I had missed my knighthood. I wrote an acceptance and rushed to the post in my dressing-gown, and it was clear that the neighbours thought I had reverted to type because once again I was without my trousers.
