In a hilarious prank, designer James Addison has been sending cryptic messges on envelopes for Royal Mail staff to solve.

Addison, who lives in Poole, Dorset, said he started the stunt when he was previously living in Great Missenden in Buckinghamshire.

“There was a postman there called Frank – the most efficient postman I know,” he said.

“[I] started to write cryptic messages and envelopes on the back of envelopes to see if he would work them out.”

“To my disbelief he did and the post office in Great Missenden, hats off to them, would actually draw and write little messages and work these codes out which was fantastic.”

“They had so much patience,” he said, adding: “I hope I haven’t annoyed them too much.”

Staff started adding smiley faces to the envelopes once they had solved the riddles.
