it looks like the house i built might have 3b as its address...i am disappointed

[zippitippitoes]

.....i want it to have its own proper number

if it is called 3b it sounds like it is is related to 3 or 3a both of which are yuck

i want a proper number

Give it a grand-sounding name instead

"Chez-zippi"

"Zippi Manor"

"Zippitowers"

You could always name it!

But at least it is a small number.
If you were in America it might be 673 or 8654.

I nominate 'Fairy Cottage'

You could get a little sign with 3 bees on it.

i dont think they let you name it

the guy is wanting it to be 4

but he has come across 4 in other uses on databases so he is investigating

fingers crossed for 4

of course the numbering will be nonsensicval

i think 1 and 2 are the other end of the road

I live in an "A" house and sometimes get a bit annoyed, tradesmen assume it's a flat when in fact it's the largest detached house on the street!

The previous owners gave it a name and called it by that but we thought that was a bit pretentious and ditched it a couple of years ago. Have you thought of that as an option?

Go and knock down number 4 and then you could be number 4...

yes i thought b sounded inferior lolol

Why 3b? If it is a house!! I don't understand the reasoning behind it. Is it not a bit like the Queen lives at palace 1, Charles at 2b, William at 3c.

Sorry xposts with your posts about number 4...

At least you aren't keeping your fingers crossed for a number 2

confused, do 3 and 4 already exist??

lol Sycamoretree

I think they do this when a new house is built on an old street. My mum lives at 2b, her house is a relatively new semi on a street of
turn of the century terrace houses.

3 and 3a exist so do 5 and 6 apparently

the asddress choosing engineer was going to call it 4 but that already exists on databases so he is investigating

he didnt mention 1 or 2

i am not on speaking terms with the cow woman who built 3 and 3a i shall be most distraught if i get 3b like im linked to her

i wouldnt mind it being a ponce name like The Coach House

My road has a 1a and 1b. I live at 18. The number of times people mistake 1B on an envelope as 18 is unbelievable. Next door have the same problem with 1b letters being mistaken as 16.

So make sure you introduce yourselves to the people living at 36 and 38 or you might wonder why you never get any post!

oh there isnt 36 or 38

i think the highest number must be 6

why not jsut chovse anvther number then
make it 23 or something

an engineer does it with house numbering credentials

I have just sent him an email saying I don't like 3b lol

I am a house number snob

Ask for 7!
