Steve Rooney, head of Royal Mail’s Address Management Unit, said: “We decided to find out how well Christmas themes were represented on street names. The team came up with a number of words closely linked to Christmas, drew up a shortlist and began to investigate. We found the Christmas theme was very well represented and we had a lot of fun doing it.”
