Standard address abbreviations

Interesting list to play with.

I'm already using 2 from that list! working good so far.

So are you saying that:

123 ebay ave

is different than

123 ebay avenue?

I didn't think something this simple would work

of no use though, it is number and zip that are important, not whether it is gdns or gardens:rolleyes:

LOL never mind lad

like ooomps said,door number and post code

I wont go into detail but I can tell you from a phone conversation with ebay that the reps are sitting in front of a monitor looking at google earth so you need to start using real and good info.

One of my questions was, the house on the right side of you looking at your house has how many garage doors?

Yes, I was asked how many doors does the house beside me have and the only way they would know is if the rep was looking at a picture of the location.

Thinking quick I said hold on a minute my 3 year old just fell of the couch. So I pulled up the address I used and answered the question correctly.

I am on a new subdivision and google earth shows me as a patch of dirt, when I see that google camera car in my road I will start worrying.

Interesting...

so my usual scribbled list of stuff like 'who the heg I am' is not enough, now need to have google earth in front of me. that is really useful info.

shall I give you a tip - address on private road cannot be googled up close, can just see the general above view. At least in UK.
