I havent ever seen that in house numbering before Pete; but its common to omit 'Room 13' & 'Floor 13' from hotels.
I have to add that Im surprised that a man of your means lives in a road with house numbers.....

Hmmm; I sense that we are playing 'f*ck you'; so allow me to raise you...... Whilst not owning *any* holiday cottages, I did grow up in a house named '****** Hall'

my house no.is 13 still here after 6 years,nothing particularly unlucky to report about.(fingers crossed)!
mind you the previous owner was a lay preacher,he may have left a positive atmosphere about the place.

I work for a house builder, we number plots 13 but certain local authorities (Northampton Borough Council is one) do not issue the postal number 13.

it was new estates being built missed out on 13 because of superstition and it was rumoured that a no 13 house for sale, would never sell!!!

My brother has just sold number 13. Was on the market since last July....... he had two rather bad relationship break-ups whilst there. Got into heavy , heavy debt, hence the sale to get himself outta the brown stuff.
So who knows. Also, my other brother was born on the 13th. He has an almighty chip on his shoulder about it. Yet there are many very famous and successful people out there with the same birthdate.
As I said before....who knows?!

We *should* be 13, as next door is 11, but as with the rest of the houses in the estate they missed it out and went straight to 15. Sure as hell confuses take-away delivery peeps, but then again that ain't hard.
