DENNIS Nicholson asks if there's a conspiracy afoot to remove Tyldesley from the face of the earth.

The Astley Street resident says the most recent example he received is a letter posted at Mount Pleasant, London, on March 13 with Tyldesley omitted from the address -- just Astley Street, Manchester, and the postcode on the envelope. He received it three days later, so the practice is obviously slowing down delivery he says.

He adds that other culprits are British Gas and Norweb who have also omitted Tyldesley -- and a couple of weeks ago he received a letter from Liverpool too which was Tyldesley-less.

What's going on? Has anyone got the answer?
