Don't forget guys that your mail is scanned using optical character recognision to sort it. Generally it's only if it fails machine readability that a human being checks it and sorts it by hand, so if the OCR picks up the wrong address that's where it will get routed in the system rather than being rejected.
The return address needs to go on the rear.
For those who are interested at all Royal Mail publish detailed pdf diagram guides for envelope layout and addressing showing the correct area of the envelope space for addresses, postage, clear areas etc. If you make sure your envelopes adhere to the guidlines there's a far better chance of them getting to where they're meant to go.

Sorry guys, I can't seem to post a link without it automatically prefixing it with "[url=http://"]"[/url] - not much help when the link is to ftp.
Oh and no I don't work for Royal Mail.
