Correct? thanks peeps

I would say no, but I'm not an English teacher.

I read somewhere that postal letter recognition machines don't like punctuation.

In the old days, if we were writing that address as part of an English assignment, we would do it like this:

Mr. Paul Poor,
16 Riverside Road,
Balla,
Co. Mayo

Um, we were always taught yes, if we had used commas above ... >_>

So

Mr. Paul Poor,
16 Riverside Rd.,
Balla,
Co. Mayo.

or

Mr. Paul Poor
16 Riverside Rd.
Balla
Co. Mayo


Not saying that's right tho ... :pac:

I would favour the second example Randy posted (no commas or full stops) but I can't remember where I learned that...

We were taught for English letters and such you out in all the punctuation but not for business letters :O

Either use all punctuation or none. That's the way it's used in the ICT sector.
