There's a number of estates on our patch where the planners decided to have a little bit of fun with us by calling whole areas by one street name even though these areas are shaped like a rabbit warren with various bits blocked off here and there. Then they decided to paint all the door frames brown and put house numbers of exactly the same colour on! Incredible!!! Although we regularly do topography and have certain schemes in place it's bad enough trying to find these numbers in broad daylight when you have plenty of time. Now imagine trying to find these same addresses at 4am when control have told you there's definitely people trapped inside and the light is poor and you know that to give these people a reasonable chance of surviving you have to get them out within 3 or 4 minutes... That's when you really wish people would number their houses clearly...
