Venting Home Address

Why do some websites insist you put in a 2nd line of your address!(street/road name)   Not everyone has one.

Even worse when they insist on street name when you live in the country and do not live on a street.

Or insist on "county", when many postal addresses no longer have a county in the address

That's what I mean

First line is house name.

I thought almost every little country lane had a name.

We lived somewhere called “the flat above the pharmacy” and it was impossible to fill out forms

We don't, lane with maybe 25 houses along it runs past us for a couple of miles.

I didn't live on a lane.

I lived on a single rack A road that stretched for 44 miles  with crofts and houses scattered along it.

I have the same problem. 

My address is: 
Housename (in Gaelic),
Hamlet Name,
Town
County (which is incorrectly listed on most autofills)
postcode. 

The postcode covers 90 properties. 

When a firm insists on street name I put in Hamlet Name again. 

Years ago we had a failed utility switch. They switched another house with the same name, but different village, postcode etc. It took a lot of untangling so I am very particular.
