:smiley: because you can manually put it in for things like deliveroo, but not things like British bloody gas. ODD

That’s probably why they can’t deliver anything

Thank you, I love you!!!

Ffs so I just rang the council and explained and the person openly laughed at me and was like “no, I know you’re real, you live next to x” And I was like yes I do, thank you for confirming that. And then they were like “we have you on our system, why are you only sorting this after a year of living there?” And I had to explain that it’s because I’m having a new phone delivered, because I need a good phone, because I use it as a hotspot, BECAUSE INTERNET PROVIDERS DONT ACCEPT THAT I EXIST. And then they transferred me to someone else, who also openly laughed and said they’d never heard of this problem, and has given me the direct phone number for “the department of street names and numbers” which is apparently a real thing, and WHY IS IT ALWAYS ME

Gonna send a cheeky victorian seaside postcard to Miss Kermit Wormit, Number 9, Off The Grid.

Just wanted you to know that I’ve heard of this as a thing :slight_smile: but mainly for newbuilds? Maybe it’s just something that nobody has ever resolved.

@kermitwormit We occasionally get the opppsite, and that’s usually utilities providers too, who insist we live in a house that doesn’t exist (and to my knowledge, never has). Bit of a hassle whenever we phone and have to do a security check or whatever. “No that isn’t your address…” “Yes it fucking is, I’m sat in it.”

This thread has given me so many giggles already.

Went to bed on the sole contents of a camomile nighttime tea, hour on the switch and a hot water bottle. Hiiii grandma!!

That was the last film in the cinema I saw before Lockdown 1.
As I left the office, my non-socially distanced colleague said: “Going anywhere this evening.” “Yeah,” I replied. “Off to see Deliverance for a bit of light relief from the news.” How little I knew…

I used to live in a house that had at some point been registered as 2 flats, for reasons known only to the landlord, so any “the occupier” type junk mail, the census, etc, we’d get 2 copies of.

Might have driven me to the point of arson
