It is remote here and I thought I would send my crossword in purchasing an online stamp, but the Royal Mail system won't let me. The address is for instance "Crossword No 4370, Box No 485, London SE17 E11" which is a Telegraph Xword address, but you get to a point in the Royal Mail system where you must enter a name or number and a street. If you don't you can get no further. Does anyone know of a way round this, please?

15. What do I have to enter to send to a PO box address?

To add a PO Box address using Online Postage, please enter the name of the recipient in the 'Send to (name)' field (if there is no name specified please use 'PO Box'). In the 'Property name' field enter 'PO Box' in the 'Street' field enter 'PO Box (and the number of the box)' finally enter the Town and Postcode as prompted. This will result in 'PO Box' being seen on a number of lines on the envelope but this is acceptable.
Part of the problem could be that it's maybe not a valid postcode - the last three characters are normally in the format number letter letter. London's sometimes a bit odd, but I didn't think it was that odd.
I'd double check that postcode as it's not recognised by the Royal Mail pcode database.
SE17 is the first bit of one in the south east ... E11 is another 1st bit in east london

Thank you very much everyone and in particular chijiki. I had not seen that in the FAQ although I had got to the stage where the PO Box repeated but I thought it would be unacceptable. With regard to the postcode, as I had sent my crossword entry in I could not remember the Telegraph address so I used a for instance. Sorry, I should have said so, and the attempts to verify it are much appreciated.
