    In American films they have house numbers in the thousands.
    The highest I’ve lived at is 402.
    Let the house number willy waving begin.
    I’m at a trade fair and I’m bored.

    I once bought something off eBay and the seller lived in a house so big it had it’s own postcode.

    Also across the pond. House numbers weren’t sequential but related to distance from the start of the road.

    In Glasgow, which has some streets with numbers in the thousands.

    It’s certainly the highest house I have lived in

    I seem to remember someone telling me that house numbers in the USA are so big because the first couple of digits are the block number if it’s on a grid system.

    Yes as above – the numbers are related to the distance from the centre of town, as are the blocks. A town will designate an area way out in the sticks for development and then put roads in that don’t go anywhere – so that developers can buy plots and build without having to worry about access. Before the houses are even built these have signs at the junctions that say stuff like ‘main st 15000-15100’. If a developer puts three houses on that block they’ll have numbers like 15000 15300 15600 or something.

    The empty roads that go nowhere make for a somewhat strange cycling experience when you are exploring 🙂

    Mmm, I’m going to be arsey and say #1 (my current house number since 1992 & 1 of 3 in the area), as a kid growing up we always stayed in the country whether that be in Galloway or arse end of nowhere cottage, nr the scree hill, beside the burn, 20 miles from the nearest town, Argyll and as such all our houses (at least a dozen or so) all had names rather than numbers

    I’m pretty sure great western road in Glasgow goes beyond number 2000. I haven’t lived there though, just sayin

    1680.

    But that was in the US. The road numbers there are like a grid-reference system.
