Roman numeral house numbers

[anomaly]

We are shortly having the outside of our house decorated. Some of our neighbours have their house number on the door as a roman numeral. Should we do the same, or is it a bit pretentious?

The number in question is 4 and the house is a regency town house.

Thanks

stuff me sideways

life changing decision indeed

why would anyone need to turn and ask this question , how do you manage in the real world?

ps leave the final decision to the wife

This.

Also, having just got back in after a visit to Tesco, where I was asked by the young chap on the till what a dozen was (when I told him I had said number of bottles of wine in the trolley instead of asking him to scan them individually), I wouldn't fancy your chances much if you ever get anything delivered by courier.

Put a "quattro" badge up instead. Pretentious and novel in equal measure.

Your house has a number? How gauche.

If you fail to get anything delivered, it's your own fault.

Intrigued I checked what my house would be:

CXXX

was the answer - which I quite like. Tempted to have it backlit in frosted glass in the window above the front door (of the gatehouse obviously) to encourage double takes....

looks like the swear filter has kicked in

[mr_spock]

I want to do this.

But I'm at number 1. Or I. Maybe Greek?

[wolfracesonic]

I think IV is quite apt OP, what with your profile saying your a doctor.

[Paul Drawmer]

XXXIV here.

Just don't, it's daft.

Our old house had a number,(current one being PH has a name) I had it put on a silver on black numberplate,

as long as you can read the number from the road, no one really cares.
