Default Changing house name ( OT).

Another question. I am sorry. Does anyone know how you go about
changing your house name?


Having read the other replies, I think the answer is simple. You just
put up a new name board outside the house

And tell everybody to send to the new name, and then tell the post
office its got a new name, and then every time someone sends a letter to
the old name, you send them a pre-printed card announcing you have moved
house to 'new name'.


So how is he going to persuade (eg) United Utilities to make the change
when the new house name doesn't appear on the dropdown list in the
postcodes database, but the old name *does*?
