That is all.
Mate, with the greatest respect it’s not hard to work out those houses you mention, they are either sequential or alternate, ie odds and evens, not rocket science eh 
I worked as a cabby for years on nights, so I can understand your frustration, but you can quickly learn to overcome such annoyances.
Mine is not displayed but either side is so it doesn’t take much working out.
Can we do the same to the muppets that knock on the door rather than ring the doorbell.
please say we can do it to those who name their home then forget to put the name plate up or let the trees/bushes grow and hide it from all but the local field mouse
Worse than that is the address:
Green Lane Cottage
Green Lane
Local Village
Postcode that’s nowhere near.
Or…
Beautiful Mansion
Green Lane
Local Village
Postcode that’s bang on, but no mansion in sight.
Had both of these type addresses when on B+Q home deliveries, BOTH were Terraced houses… Houses just had numbers on except a little plaque with the stuck up Mrs Bucket wannabe’s house name on it… Oh, sorry, you pronounce it Bouquet?? Why’s it spelt BUCKET then?

But you must have a good address dahling! Larry, dear Larry may pop round…
The one that gets me is when you find the house name you also find that the house is between say 26 and 30, so it’s number 28 but they don’t put that so you have to crawl along the road looking for the name.

I have had more than my fair share of poor address when I use to drive brick or block lorries. Very often the roads weren’t in, it was just a field at the side of the road. When driving for Frank Tuckers years ago all the delivery note would say was Wimpey Lower Early. Lower Early was only a village in those days nothing but fields, look at it now.
Well gee Olly, I never figured that if (looks left) that there is no’ 1 & next door is no’ 3, (looks right) that one’s no’ 2 then this one must be no’ 4 right? Ahuh ahuh ahuh.
How hard can it be? How much would it cost?
The problems are few & far between, but it starts when a bored council planner decides to have a laff with the general layout, add a greedy developer who must maximise the amount of profit crammed into the smallest of spaces, then chuck in a few motorists behind a truck that’s behind schedule & touching the wing mirrors of inconsiderately parked chav mobiles on both sides.

Couldn’t agree more. Had an address once, house called Red Cottage in the middle of nowhere. Thought it shouldn’t be too hard to find as the clue is in the name. WRONG! It was painted WHITE!
Yeah, for once the Council Estates are a winner… big numbers on each and every house and no fancy names.

That works great until you get to a street like ours. Our house is number 29, the house to the left is number 30, the house to the right is number… 22! And 23-28 don’t exist anywhere, but there is a 2B that can keep delivery vans touring round for quite a while
yes if they were waiting on paramedics to attend to a heart attack victim it could delay help getting to them the price of snobbery
I used to do parcel deliveries for dhl anywhere from ludlow to malpas. What an absolute ball ache!
i was looking for a green farm and had a 42"tv for them.
Post code was fine it took me to a hedge with no gaps in it 
drove for over an hour to find the place.
Tried the local post office surprise suprise… Closed down.
Tried the pub only person in there was an ancient bar steward who spoke in a code only the locals must understand as he poured me a pint of bitter when i asked if he knew the family or where it was.
Gave up so found a petrol station 2 miles away for a choccy to calm me down:$ anyhows i thought one last try on this bloody drop so asked in there.
Turns out that the lady behind the counter used to drop her son off there to play with that families kids when they were younger.
Its ends up the farm is a mile back the way i came from and the entrance is through an old shoddy gap in a stone wall (that you would of blinked and missed) that may have had a gate once in about 400 years previous.
Drive down a dirt track about 1/2 a mile to where two barns are and take a right.
Drive another 1/2 a mile and find a collection of very old looking farm house and out buildings with not a soul in sight!
Anyhows thought ive got this far im not giving up now!
I go wandering round shouting hello, a cat and a pigmy goat are the only living things ive seen. Then suddenly an old chap pops his head out of what looks to be a stable block. I ask is this green farm and he replies “whats it to you?”
With that i could of quite happily jumped in the van and buggered off.
Anyhows i was calm for a change and asked if a mrs “so n so” was in turns out its his daughter and they’d ordered this telly over a month ago but no-one could find it.
Not bloody surprised!

whatever happened to the voice that says … “You have arrived at your destination”
I had one where i was delivering shopping in sheffield and there were no number on both sides of the road but notes said look for red painted house.
As i got there they were just finishing painting the house white like the rest of the street!!!

yea, when your 300 yards away, the wrong side of the block at the rear of the property, on a one-way street going in the wrong direction !
