My apartment has two different apartment numbers, the right one and the one that Royal Mail made up for their database. Makes it interesting to match things up

- DrJokepu 11y agoAlso, a lot of websites have this thing where you have to enter your postal code and then you can pick your address from a list of addresses associated with the postal code. I used to live in a development for a while that was so new that it didn't appear in many of these databases, so signing up for various services (or even paying council tax) was near impossible.
- phillc73 11y agoI had a similar, derived issue. A new house I was renting was marketed as "24 Street Name",the lease document was written as such and the front door had a number 24 on it. However, after moving in, we discovered that on all official databases it was "24-26 Street Name". This caused a number of frustrations over the years. After a while we just put "24-26" on everything and be done with it.
