I just had to make a minor correction, given that's without google maps it's not bad, is it?

It's quite scary how much of London that you pick up by osmosis stays with you

I'm not sure why Royal Mail would care about vanity...

But there is a rogue one on Jeffrey's Street in Kentish Town, named after Elizabeth Jeffreys. :sherlock:

The locals have no education, that's the trouble.

I tried to get a full English breakfast in Golders Green yesterday.

The place is practically baconfrei.

Well actually vanity is not the case if RM have offically told you.

If your address is now Bishops Avenue or wherever then it is fact.

Vanity addressing would apply if a person lived in East Finchley but claimed it to be Highgate or Hampstead.
