On the basis that only approved emails get onto the reflector, this  
person must be known and presumably reading the list. No callsign I  
notice, but spam doesn't normally include such details as knowing  
about a K2.

The postcode relates directly to
Barclays Bank plc
543 Norwood  Road
LONDON
SE27 9DW

but that is in Lambeth, not West Norwood (according to GE), but they  
aren’t that far apart.

It's Spam Mike, but not as we know it!
