Mum-of-22 Sue Radford called Santa Claus as the post arrived home without an address
MANY people know the frustration when the mail does not reach their home if the address is slightly misspelled.
However, Sue Radford, mother of Britain's largest family, was left stunned after receiving mail without any part of her house number, street name or postcode.

Taking to Instagram, Sue revealed she had received a letter saying: “Sue Radford, Britain's Greatest Family, Morecambe.”
Sue was shocked to hear the post had found their ten-bedroom home in Lancashire, with some fans likening her to 'Santa Claus' (after children sent letters to him at the 'North Pole').
Sue suggested it wasn't the first time it had happened, saying: “It always makes me laugh how letters like this get to us.”
Sue revealed that the letter was from a “lovely lady whose husband has just recovered from cancer.”
The envelope contained money for the Walker family, who are friends with the Radfords.
Sue has been friends with mum Rebecca and her ten children since 2013 and has helped raise vital funds for Rebecca's daughter Sophie, 17, as she bravely continues the battle against the rare cancer.
Sophie was diagnosed with a Wilms tumor – a form of kidney cancer – on October 25, 2017, and shortly afterwards began a four-week course of chemotherapy.
In the years since, she has gone into remission twice, but relapsed four times.
During this time, Sophie's twin sister, Megan, 17, has experienced many of the same symptoms, despite not having the disease herself.
Who are Sue and Noel Radford?
Sue and Noel Radford shot to fame in 2012 as the parents of Britain's biggest brood and launched a brand new series on Channel 5 in 2021.

Sadly, the couple's 17th child, Alfie, was still born on July 6, 2014.
In a recent episode of Radford's 22 Kids & Counting show, we saw how Britain's biggest family was torn apart by a huge decision.
While the family looked for a new home, Sue and Noel found their dream home, but there was a big problem: it was too small.
Faced with a difficult decision, the Radford couple had to make a challenging choice: do they move and split up their family, or do they stay put?
At the beginning of the episode, the couple shared one of the main reasons they wanted to move: the lack of privacy.
It was the worst time to see the family fall apart, but this is the perfect solution. We get to move and they get some independence, and I get to come over for some cuddles

While we've all experienced nosy neighbors, the Radfords explained that they regularly receive enthusiastic cold callers visiting their family's home.
After finding their seven-bedroom dream home, Sue and Noel realized this decision would split their family.
Sue, Noel and the younger children would still be able to move into their dream home, while the older children would stay in the family home, learning to budget and live independently.
Noel told the older children, “You're going to have to pay for your own gas, your own electricity, your own groceries.”
As Sue interjected: “It was the worst time to see the family fall apart, but this is the perfect solution. We get to move and they get some independence, and I get to come over for some cuddles.
