I think I've said before that Mum & I both use the call-sign alphabet when giving out initials.
I've had letters addressed to Charlie and Mum to Sierra. And before she joined the Ambulance Service (way back when, where she learned it and we had to test her), letters to Sugar.
A friend of mine lived on Slave Hill.
No, really.
I think it was named after a local landowner.
He would say, "Slave. As in bondage."
It's a lot easier now they just ask for postcodes and door numbers.
But even then you can really puzzle call centre staff. I always start with the actual postcode, then repeat it with Hotel, Papa [etc] - "Sorry, which hotel?"
