Talking of address forms on the web, I came across one the other day that refused to acknowledge my address because my house doesn’t have a number. Haven’t seen that glitch for some years. Used to be a regular occurrence though.
(Easily solved by making up a number - luckily such unsophisticated forms don’t usually have postcode checkers.)
I found one the other day that seemed to know the invented number was wrong, and wouldn't accept it. So, if you know its wrong, why don't you know its not even supposed to be there at all? Just to complicate matters, we don't even have a street. Its house name, village, post town (which isn't a town, its a village), postcode. Luckily there are only 3 houses in the postcode, but some companies haven't updated their databases for years, and they disagree with the Royal Mail database, which is correct, after we corrected it. It previously had the correct name for our house, an Anglicisation of it (its in Wales, so the name is Welsh not English, OK) and some totally invented name that must have been misheard over the phone. Now it just has the correct name, which at least has stopped TV licensing from chasing the occupants of the anglicised name house for a TV license for the house that doesn't exist. I whinged at Santander for not updating the database promptly, and they gave me £60!
