There are some fake houses in London which are only facade walls, behind them is ventilation shafts for the Underground.A kind word lasts a minute, a skelped erse is sair for a day.0

The street where we live was built during the first World War.
It is numbered 1 to 17 on one side and 24 to 35 the other
There is also an open space where nothing has ever been built.I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.0 -
When we lived in our last house there was 4,6,8,10,12,14 and 18 and the other side of the road was 1,5,7,9,10,11,13,15,17,19,20,21 and 22. Very random and no houses missing or two being knocked into one, I couldn't understand the fact that there were two number 10s!0

I seem to recall a street back in my Uni days where there was a row of terraced houses - no gaps - where number 30-something was next door to number 50-something. I can only guess that they started numbering from either end of the street and overestimated the number of houses they'd built!0

Bet they must have had fun with the postman!...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
