Trigger warning JB: I live at number 10. The house opposite is 122.

Another trigger warning for you JB. I'm at number 5 and the house opposite is 2 miles away.

I'm not so fond of the people.

I always dislike those people who try and use a name for thier house lumped on before the official number for no other reason than to be quirky.

By unofficially adding "The Dell" before 6 morning wood road or whatever they do nothing but make people waste time writing in a vein attempt to add fun or individualism into something that ultimately requires uniformity to run efficiently.

Sounds like a semi

@Tommy! and @johnnyboy would make fine Posties. Especially the pointless name on a numbered address. If your mail/parcel comes to that address unnumbered there’s a good chance it’s getting killed off out of spite by at least half the people in my office.

I've often thought that you must be a total cunt to have a name for your house instead of a number. Glad to hear posties treat their mail with disrespect.

The one that gets me is when they name a house in a terrace something like "The Old Rectory" or "The Cottage". Who's that meant to be for, considering it's obvious to every fucking person that sees it that it isn't an old rectory or cottage?

Wrong thread.

I didn't say I do it. Just that it's quite a British thing I've found. I do eye roll at it.. 

[Chest Rockwell]

So it's a thing you love about British culture, but you don't do it and you roll your eyes at it?

Sure. That makes sense.

@johnnyboywe live at flat number 37 (underneath number 39). The highest even numbered house on our street is 22.

There are areas in Germany that don't use letters in their house numbering. So houses 2a and 2b would be 2-1 and 2-2. There's some sick fuckers out there.
