What's the name of your house ?Oi, ours has a name, I haven't a clue what it means, probably Hovel on a mossy hillside and we've got a shiney piece of Welsh slate proudly boasting the fact.... I don't know of anyone who lives in a house with a number round here and there are 3 houses in town with the same name that I know of so there must be more. The postmen deliver the letters based on the persons name not their house name. You're fucked if your name's Rowlands.
Love Welsh place/house names as they're mostly descriptive and,imo, quite poetic. Ours is called Tonnau Gwynion (p; tonnay) which is White Waves, quite apt as we have a sea view.
But, I used to deliver around south Manchester & Cheshire and hated winter deliveries after 4pm, no plaque or if present unlit, down a leafy lane would entail, pre-mobile, finding a functional payphone and politely asking the inconsiderate cunts to stand on the road and wave. The temptation to run the fuckers over was real.
