Incidentally, I thought the funniest comment on this blog was from some Canadian who wondered why the Canadian government had decided to use the British system of postal codes rather than the US. After all, this Canadian wrote, we"re North Americans too.

I did indeed but it got swalowedup in Point 3 in my list. I haven't tried it but it seems it works sometimes. Anyway It's a non issue now for myself at least but it has been an interesting discussion.
As fr the Canadian concerned about ZIP codes at least he / she should be relieved that there was a compromise somewhere. We have same the style of dialing codes and the same Country code for long distance telephone calls.Now if only we could get the same cell phone rates we'd be laughing.
