Short postal address.

Just a curiosity question regarding how do you fill in forms postal address details if your address is short? Usually if you live in the centre of town or city.
For instance your address is
10 High Street
Midtown
Nowhereshire
MI1 1HS

Would/Do you post your address as for example
Something like
10
High Street
Midtown
Nowhereshire
MI1 1HS

The first one.

Yes for a lot of forms I put the house number in the first line and the road name in the second if they require something in all the lines of the form. Sometimes I have put the town in twice if I've needed to fill it out even more!

Depends what the "required" fields are but just manipulate your address to fit - no road name here so if it is a required field then the name of the village/hamlet goes in there - if necessary I double-up lines of the address.

I too have no second address line so I just put N/A or none always works

I usually repeat my town as many times as required. I used to split number and street but got fed up doing it. It seems daft to edit lines after autofill has filled them anyway. I did briefly try n/a but some forms don't accept the "/". Repeating village/town/city is so much simpler and can't be confused if it makes it to an envelope!
