No house number

[kawoxux]

..or when you go on a frame for the first time and its just addressed to *house name* when all the frame has is numbers. Where the flying f**k am I supposed to put that then?!

Some of the worst offenders are the one's whose house doesn't follow the sequence of the rest of the street.

I've seen one where the houses go 1-59 up one side and down in evens from 72-2 on the other. The only house out of sequence is 14a which is stuck between 14 and 12. 14,14a and 12 don't have numbers on their fronts

this is common with number 13 not having a number and neighbours 11 and 15 not having numbers

We have an area that can only be described as number hell, it is almost as if the council got some random street names, and numbers and just mixed them up randomly, the area is next to impossible to figure out.

It gets worse.

A while ago, the council were replacing some of the doors in the area, and those that owned their houses salvaged some of the old doors from the skips, and used them, the problem being that we now have entire terraces with the wrong numbers on their doors.

Isn't there a legal requirement for houses to be numbered, I read somewhere that house numbers should be black on white, and visible from the road.

I even get the Police asking me where number such and such is.

Sorry to bump an old topic.Wehave a large estate being built of around 750 homes.At present only a few dozen are occupied but most don't have numbers and there are no road names.I have started giving the mail to the sales offices.They are adamant it is down to their clients to number the houses which is no help to me.My manager says to kill it off ,is this right.

I AM SO GLAD I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE!! It gets right on my tits when people don't have numbers, or when they choose to invent names for their house and then don't even have the name on the house anywhere! Posh folk usually

I actually have one street that has the OPPOSITE problem. All the houses on this street are named instead of numbered, no idea why but that's how it is, no numbers on the frame or the buildings themselves, all names on the frame and houses clearly display the name on them too so that's fine. But every so often someone decides to address their mail with a number instead of a name, so I've got to walk up the street counting the houses and hope I've remembered which side is odd and which is even..
