Addressing Envelopes

Morning all, it is Remembrance Sunday here in the UK, a time for reflection and remembrance of all those who have died or been wounded in conflict defending our freedom.  Take a moment out of your day just to think quietly and give thanks for their bravery.

Completely changing the subject, have you ever wondered how to address an envelope correctly?  I was trying to work out the correct form of address for two unmarried sisters.  I thought I knew what it was, and then Toad planted a seed of doubt, so I had a Google and came away more confused than ever.  Plenty of information there for addressing the aristocracy, but very little for mere mortals.  Is this a sign of the times?  Do we not write letters any more, or simply not care about how they are addressed?  For work I have to get it right, and it has become a habit even with personal correspondence.  After a bit more trawling, I discovered that my first instinct was correct, so perhaps my education wasn't wasted after all!
