Flat/apartment number in addresses
It really confuses me -no grammar/English book that i have mentions how to write apartment numbers, when writing adresses on letters. Do all Englishmen live in separate houses? 
No blocks of flats? 
I can live at 43 highstreet, but where's my apt in all this? How to write it? Do you ever do it or maybe the mailman needs your name only?

In the US, apartments (flats) are common. This is a typical address: Miss Susan Smith 3489 Main Street Apartment # 67A Anywhere, IN 34567 Note that the apartment or flat number is part of the address, after the street number.

Thank you AlpheccaStars! This helps a lot, although I think they write it in a different way in the UK? To be honest, the place where the apt. number is written is a surprise to me. But now I know how to address letters to the USA, I am wiser now
