This is cute and all but now you try and find "Menu Items" and you can't.

Addresses are weird in the UK. We’re in a habit of putting towns and counties on envelopes, but a house/apt number and postcode are sufficient.

my sister has the weirdest address in Spain : she doesn't have a street name/number, her address is based on the cadastral data
#
sebbu
partida bordès poligono [digit] parcela [number] apartido [number] [postal code] [city] Spain
#
sebbu
and half the time her mail are left in the postal office in town and she has to go get them herself

My favourite UK address weirdness (that affects me directly) is that the Post Office uses a different system of counties, boroughs, and city limits to everyone else, mainly so that they don't have to update routes and databases each time a different body changes things. So my postal address states I'm in a county that I do not live in, which causes some confusion

[mattl] where is that `<FONT>` usage from?
#
sebbu
[Murray], i had a similar case at $job-2, but for a different reason
#
sebbu
i was working for an (old) association with OLD members
#
sebbu
and they rarely updated their infos
#
sebbu
so a person could have changed name (married/divorced), changed phone number, changed adresses (including email since linked to ISP), but still be the same person
#
sebbu
also, adresses got updated when streets got extended/cut, villages merged/split, department border get redrawn, etc...
#
sebbu
we were lucky enough not to have in Alsace/Lorraine which got possessed by Germany (I'm in France) between WW1 and WW2
#
sebbu
not to have members*
#
sebbu
otherwise they could have changed country without moving geographically
#
sebbu
so without moving geographically, your street name, street number, city and department (county) can change :D

[mattl] thanks, straight out of a museum of archaic HTML 😄 Had no idea the `<hr>` element used to accept the `size` attribute! Interesting that it breaks up the text nodes like that, didn't realise that was a behaviour
#
[Murray]
I'm intrigued though, what do you mean you "can't find Menu Items"?
#
[mattl]
You can’t search for “Menu” only “enu”
