"A DUNFERMLINE seven-year-old missed out on a present from her grandparents because Royal Mail says her house doesn’t exist. Little Emilija Morrison has lived in her new Redrow-built home in 5 Pinkerton Street in the city’s eastern expansion with parents Iain and Ieva since Christmas.

Carnegie thinks it says more about the Royal Mail than it does about Fife actually, although they did try to blame Fife Council.
"A spokesperson for Royal Mail maintained that they had no record of premises at 5 Pinkerton Street, explaining, “The customer needs to contact the council and confirm their address details. oyal Mail uses the postcode system to deliver items and we require confirmation from any council that new build residencies are now fit for occupation and ready to receive mail before they are placed on our system.”
