Where do I live

Yesterday I was organising the details of a contract for an author who was in the office. I asked him what is full postal address was (he had only written the Quarter) and he just waved his arm towards the window saying "Over there, near where you live". It was clear from the tone of his voice that he thought this was a perfectly adequate description. None of the other five authors had addresses other than a Quarter.

There is a postal service here, but you can only receive mail if you have a post box and anything else has to be hand delivered.
