How many houses/flats have you lived in, with Mum & Dad counting as one ? I've just been counting my homes since childhood and it's 8 Perhaps I should have put this in the boring thread :grin:
I'm 8 as well. :smiley:
I can remember 13, but we moved a lot during the war - dad was a circuit manager for Gaumont - so there may well be some I have forgotten
I'm on 8 too
10 including my childhood home.
My parents never moved. My first move was when we got married.
3 different houses with my mum and dad
3 accommodation blocks in the RAF
2 different accommodations in Saudi Arabia
1 temporary rented house with Marge
3 different houses with Marge, including our present house
= 12
8..
Seems a popular number..
One of mine was number 8. Not the eight though.
Now I think about it, the houses in which I have lived for any length of time are numbered:
8, 12, 30 and now 38. The numbers 3 and 8 appear to have some importance to me... apparently.
I think I had 8 twice and 9 in total now I come to think of it but the first and last are the same house as I moved to it when I inherited it. Good local shops and buses rather than the village I was living in with no shops and maybe one bus a day. I had retirement in mind.
70, 44, 6, 91, 8, 21, 8, 5, 70 no good for a lottery ticket
I lived at a number 8.. and two house names..
Names eh? There's posh for you :grin:
no numbers in this road which has about 12 houses in 3 miles
None of my 20 houses has had a name.
my current one does - but it's the first time.
The Edwardian block of flats I grew up in had a name. None since, although my son's does, like most of the ones in their village.
If a house only has a name & no number that's reasonable.
Giving a house with a number a name is just pretentious.
It's the sort of thing that the Hyacinth Buckets of this world do.
Pretentious !!!!!
No way am I a Hyacinth Bucket..
My house has a name simply because I built a house between two other houses .. That meant the house had to have a letter behind it (A B..).. and mail/Amazon etc went to wrong houses.. A name saved confusion for deliveries..
The letter B b behind a number easily becomes an 8 or 6..

There's a bog standard, mid terrace house near here called 'The Priory'. All the street is numbered. As you say, pretentious.
