Where I lived before, I had two addresses, a street address and a Post office box address....If and of my mail goes to the "street address" and the person living there keeps my mail, can that person be in trouble for not returning it to the post office?

What is an example of an English postal code?
Here's one I made up earlier TR99 1YZ That's the easy bit over, it now gets a little complex.
The first of the code is called the outward code used to direct mail from one sorting office to the destination sorting office. All UK postcodes are based on cities, and most use the first two letters of the city, I have used TR which indicates Truro Cornwall other examples PL Plymouth, EX Exeter etc Exceptions include Liverpool which uses just the L and London which uses compass postal addresses SW (South West), NW (North West) etc
So now we know what the TR stands for, now what about the 99 I hear you all cry. 99 is the postal district, to explain it better lets look at a fictitious UK address.
The Supervisor , 10 I Know The Answer Road,
Wrong Again
Truro
England
TR99 1YZ
So in this case 99 stands for the postal district of 'Wrong Again'
The second part of the code 1YZ is called the inward code used to sort the mail into individual delivery rounds
1 is the sector, in the case of the above address it is 'I Know The Answer Road'
YZ is the unit ie 10. Although most units have an average of 15 houses in close proximity
