Please, Mr. Postman (Posted on 2005-12-02)

Paul is writing to his overseas sweetheart. He writes a steamy love letter, seals the envelope, and then inscribes the following cryptic address on the front:

Fortunately, the letter reaches its intended recipient (lucky Paul that the postman knew a lot about encrypting techniques). What is the complete name of Paul's sweetheart and her whole address?

Lynn Underwood 1 3rd Avenue Andover England
The name is almost obvious: Lynn "under" wood.

The city, "and over England", still refering to Lynn.

The hard part is the name of the street. Since "Av" is "one third" of "Avenue", it follows "1 3rd Avenue".
