Please, Mr. Postman (Posted on 2005-12-02) Difficulty: 2 of 5
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:
                   Wood
                         Av 
                   Lynn 
                   England
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?

I think I got it.

wouldn't have travelled this way without the last hint from paulo though...

Lynn Underwood
2 Early Avenue
Andover England.

Of course, other variations would fit, such as 2 Soon Avenue etc.
Also, this doesn't really explain the abbreviation to Av. rather than Ave., but I'm willing to let that be a cultural difference thing :)
