The immediate are I live in is all council the second half is called .... Hall

No, its because it's their address you weirdo.
You are saying that as though they 'invent' their own address to impress people. It doesn't work like that.
You move into a building and that building already has its own address according to its exact location so you tend to use that as the address.
If you make up a shorter one, post will never reach you.
This is a moronic thread.
Could I forward this to the cocktards who produce airport customs and immigration cards, and a multitude of other printed documents that require full contact details, as they all seem to think you can write your address in three words!You are saying that as though they 'invent' their own address to impress people.

After working as a delivery driver for a while, I have realised that the more information on an address, the better.
Sometimes bits are written in error, if a parcel has the wrong postcode and hardly any other information it makes it tricky to find the right place. If somebody writes your postcode wrong (which happens quite often) and there's no town written on it, it's going to take a long time to get there, if it all.
Some businesses are massive, and often a receptionist/storesman won't accept a parcel if they don't know exactly where it's going.
You could turn up at a building that houses ten companies, and when it just has a persons name and the building name on it, it takes ages to find out where it's meant to be going. Most of the time these business estates don't even have their building numbers displayed, so that doesn't help either.
Putting the housing estate/area of town on it helps a lot as it'll get grouped with the rest of the area and won't be missed until the end of the day when it could be too late.
If you want your post as quickly as possible, give out as much information as possible.

A real gem from last week ,
The postcode was a letter out indicating to a major traffic junction 3/4 of a mile away.
The road name had the first letter missing , given as Romford way (not in the town in question)
The company name given ceased operation 4 years ago when taken over .
This is why I hate most transport offices, and they question if we are at the right place , right place ? It doesn't exist !
