An Irish postman today received praise on social media for successfully delivering a letter which had no address and only a hand-drawn map.
The Hook Lighthouse, situated at the tip of the Hook Peninsula, shared a photo of the letter on its Facebook page, 'The Daily Telegraph' reported.
It featured a drawing of the lighthouse along with the helpful message: "Here please".
The postman in County Wexford, southeast Ireland, managed to deliver the letter with just the hand-drawn map and no address on the envelope.
Hook Lighthouse, which is one of the oldest lighthouses in the world, wrote: "Fair play to our postman who managed to deliver this map drawn address from Red Dave #postiechallenge."
And what was the important message? "A little note to say how much he liked the Hook Lighthouse," they revealed.
The photo has been shared and liked by hundreds of Facebook users, with one commenting: "Nice one! Most people think it's nuts that our addresses don't have a house number, street or postcode and the postman still gets it right, this takes the biscuit though!!! Brilliant."
Last year, a postman successfully delivered a letter to "your man with the glasses" in Donegal.
