[HPFGU-OTChatter] How to address mail to the UK

[kemper mentor]

 akh:


I'm trying to standardize a new database, and our mailing addresses to

 folks in the UK are - well - all over the map, as it were.  Since a

 fair number of you are either in the UK or likely mail to the UK,

 what's the standard Country listing?  Our system uses England,

 Ireland, and UK, seemingly in random order (some English addresses are

 UK; some are England.  Ireland seems pretty consistently Ireland; I'm

 presuming it would say Northern Ireland if it were supposed to be UK.)

 

 Does it matter?  Am I fretting over nothing?  Or, should I change

 England Scotland and Wales to UK?  (I don't think I have any N Ireland

 addresses right now.) Enquiring minds want to know!

 

Kemper now:
I think writing the country is more for postal workers of the mail-of-origin so they know which bin to throw the overseas mail in.

But I'm not a postal worker... just hazarding a guess.
