When an old friend sent Bryan Chapman a Christmas card, he was not sure of his house number or full postcode.
So he wrote a note on the envelope: Not sure of the number but he’s the bald bloke.
And it did the trick.
Bryan, of Volwycke Avenue, Maldon, said his road does not have a regular postman or woman who would know all the residents well.
“I suppose my receding hairline clearly helped," he joked.
