From L. W. MILLGATE
Q: Computerised address labels on much of my mail contain the same five-figure
number, which means nothing to me, and is not obviously related to any element
of my address. Placement of the number on the label varies. I don’t think
it can result from one organisation selling a mailing list, since the labels
originate from varied sources: subscriptions, direct sales, charities, even
the Inland Revenue. Can anyone explain what this code might be?
