My inner anarchist

I have just been buying something online for my mother. It had an essential to fill in box requiring her phone number. Her number has 10 digits. The website insisted that I must fill in an 11 digit number and refused to move on until I did. So I added an extra 0 - result! Their website is now happy, but they have a completely useless telephone number.

OH says I am an anarchist!

Wherever are you? Outside the UK? UK addresses follow the form
Street address, Locality (if used), Post Town, Post Code (on a separate line).
County names are not used.

I've been my daughter many times on the phone as she's been tied up with babies and I've had the time, at work, to spend ages getting through to people.

Love the phone number idea. Thanks for that.
I'd never used a house number until I moved to the mainland - just the house name. How a postman could do his job I don't know because those were the days before postcodes as well.
If I'm feeling iffy I put in an old postcode of mine but the correct road and town address. Have never discovered whether that works or not
