Everything gets lost and mail is very slow. It took 9 days for a letter sent to me from Jerusalem to arrive in the Negev... Do the powers think adding 2 more numbers is really going to improve the mail? I highly doubt it.<br /><br />MiriamMiriamhttp://miriamswords.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-72717594209480096692012-03-24T23:36:01.213+02:002012-03-24T23:36:01.213+02:00Anon, I agree.

I've started a write in campaign. <br />http://www.israelpost.co.il/postquestion.nsf/questionform?OpenForm<br /><br />In fact, on the wikipedia page, it seems that all countries with a code longer than five digits either use a hyphen or a space.<br /><br /><br />The postal page says that this is for the 'new' computer sorting system that will be finally installed. The system has actually been sitting in 'nylons' for the past 2-3 years because the sorters union has been threatening to cause havoc is the boxes are opened (and they are all fired).joshnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-47956337628602829752012-03-15T14:49:28.580+02:002012-03-15T14:49:28.580+02:00The first three digits are the same and last four ...The first three digits are the same and last four are new. <br /><br />They should have an official spot for a dash instead of just one long seven digit number. xxx-xxxxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-73691777803546901002012-03-14T19:49:47.917+02:002012-03-14T19:49:47.917+02:00Lurker: Thanks for the laughsLurker: Thanks for the laughsShmildanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-79839544450549552912012-03-14T18:01:47.903+02:002012-03-14T18:01:47.903+02:00Ethel Merman: Zip A Dee Zip Code<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USUYRqiHq0I" rel="nofollow">Ethel Merman: Zip A Dee Zip Code</a>Lurkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02712938121915827845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-90088766651367140082012-03-14T08:33:04.439+02:002012-03-14T08:33:04.439+02:00I think it's a great idea to have a more speci...I think it's a great idea to have a more specific post code. In England each road has its own code which means you can give your entire address as 5 IG7 9QW. According to the PO website the entrance to my building (11a) gets its own code (!), but my grandmother's house shares its code with a couple of other houses. Both places are in Jerusalem. I wonder how they've chosen to assign codes?Meir Arielnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-91064450605110033212012-03-14T07:15:54.089+02:002012-03-14T07:15:54.089+02:00My Israeli ID is already 8 digits plus the check d...My Israeli ID is already 8 digits plus the check digit.
