Addresses

I was reading The Times newspaper the other day. Below the letters to the editor, each writer’s address is listed. Most people have very exciting-sounding places in their addresses:

Stone House
Serle Court
Lincoln’s Inn
Brampton Lodge
11 Blueberry Downs
New Bailey Chambers, Corn Exchange
2 Hargill Court

And then there’s my address:

416 Grace Way

I mean, wouldn’t this sound so much more interesting if I could say I lived at Harrowgate House or Westbridge Lodge? Perhaps if I said to send my mail to Bishopsmith Court or Fannington Downs? Or even if I lived in a place named Fitzhough-on-Avon or Beddingtonsmithwell-upon-Tyne?
