Swiss logic
Got a letter today addressed to the former flatmate from the Swiss post. Emailed and he asked me to open it. It was a letter stating that they have registered his change of address as per 31st of May (to somebody else in Zürich) but for some mysterious logistic reason they have sent this particular letter to his old address. Letter dated 1st of June. Makes sense to you? It sure doesn't to me.
But the envelope contained a really nice map of Zürich, which I've asked him if I could keep. Since he left the country he won't be having any use of it anyway.
I wonder how exactly did they think? If at all...

'Swiss logic'
actually there is perhaps a logical reason for this, as the same thing happened to me when I moved. They send a letter to your old address, confirming your change of address just in case some nasty person decided to redirect your mail without telling you, that way if you haven't actually moved you'll get the letter and can stop the redirection thwarting Mr Nasty's plans.
Like I said, Swiss logic. And don't you have to identify yourself when redirecting mail?
