We live at 30 rue de blah blah blah

[alittlebitfrench]

We have lived at 30 rue de blah blah blah for 14 years

According to EDF and Free and every other computer in France, we live at 28 rue de blah blah blah. Why ?….I have no idea. But every utilities company in France they think we live at 28 rue de blah blah blah. There is no 28 rue de blah blah blah BTW. It does not exist. But apparently we live there.

We have called, we have sent letters, we have sent attestations from the Marie to all these companies saying we live at 30 rue de blah blah. There is no 28 rue de blah blah blah.

Last year we finally persuaded EDF that we live at 30 rue de blah blah blah not 28 rue de blah blah blah…..because there is no 28 rue de blah blah blah. They updated their computer. They said everything is cool now.

Anyway, we have installed a new heating system so we no longer require gas. A date was booked for a gas engineer to come around and stop the gas officially.

Mrs ALBF was leaving the house on the morning of the said date and spotted a very confused gas engineer walking up and down the street.

He was our engineer. Guess what address he was looking for 😃

Does  not surprise me.  Our Postal Code in Normandy was 50240.  We still got letters with the old 50111 Post Code that changed donkeys years ago - or so we thought!

Attention, le code postal est différent du code INSEE affecté à la même commune.

50111 is the INSEE code, which some French authorities still use🤯
