And because it can't be mistaken for 'seven'. A few local ones: A3400 => A three four-hundred A6003 => A six double-oh three A4095 => A four oh nine five B4009 => B four double-oh nine B4100 => B four one-hundred B4437 => B four four three seven B480 => B four eighty B4455 => "the Fosse" I've heard the A444 described as both the 'A four four four' and the 'A treble-four'. The latter seems to be idiomatic usage around Burton. And don't forget Britain's only six-digit road number, the A417419... cheers Richard _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
