Is it possible to get a phone number from an address?

There used to be a London Street directory available by ringing directory inquiries decades ago. I don't know if it still can be done, but not available online AFAIK.

[James Wilkinson Sword]

The number I'm looking for is in Glasgow.

[Mr Pounder Esquire]

Try
http://www.whitepages.co.uk/

[James Wilkinson Sword]

Tried it with the address in question, my own address, and the addresses of three friends. None produced a result. Perhaps you need the name?

If I put in my surname and my address, it says "no results" (because I'm not in the phonebook). But without my name and just my address, it's completely blank (no "no results"), so I think it needs the name.

Knock on the door say you are a BT engineer testing, dial your own
number then nip home and dial 1471.

[James Wilkinson Sword]

All I want to do is speak to him. If I can catch him in (he lives an hour's drive away), that would be fine anyway, I'd no longer need his number. But phoning would be easier.

So what scam are you running now?

[Mr Pounder Esquire]

I used to be there, but not anymore. Dunno why really except that I told
them to fuck off years ago. This takes time.
Seems that if you have not opted out of the free electoral role as I did has
some impact here. This takes time.

[James Wilkinson Sword]

The last time I filled in an electoral roll, I ticked the box to reduce such things.

Anyway, it seems that site does not permit you to look anyone up without a name. Trouble is I wish to contact someone I had dealings with 5 years ago, but I can only remember his address, not his name.

Then write to the address you have. If he wants, he'll then contact you.

[James Wilkinson Sword]

Could do, but I'd prefer a real conversation in person.

I just tried myself, with the same information, and it said I have details listed from the 2002 electoral roll. So it looks like they don't have info for the Glasgow address.

I think you know he won't want to talk to you, so you plan to ambush him.

Why's that?

[Mr Pounder Esquire]

If he doesn't bother replying, he does not want to know you.
You could take my suggestion and contact would be made within the hour.

For the Fuel money , for the journey back.

[James Wilkinson Sword]

I want to propose a deal to him which he might be interested in, but probably not enough to bother replying. It requires two way conversation to convince him.

But a cul-de-sac doesn't have a "next" town, does it? It doesn't lead
anywhere, except the end of itself. You'd make more sense if you said
that in the case of a cul-de-sac it ought to be named by the
*previous* town.

Jesus fucking Christ. I'll try once more. Of the roads (and only those) which have the name of another town in them, they are usually the nearest town in that direction.

That is utter stupid shit. Just about right for you.
Round here there is a London Road, London is 250 miles away in that
direction.
There is a Blackpool road, there is at least one other town that is closer
than Blackpool in that direction.
In Blackpool there is a Preston New Road and a Preston Old Road , there are
other towns which are closer, in that direction.
What a bellend you really are Mr Hucker.

Then your council must be even stupider than mine.

We have a Beverley Low Road that goes through Hessle, Anlaby and Willerby and another one that is called Beverley High Road that is in both KHCC + ERYCC.

[James Wilkinson Sword]

What annoys me is roads that are almost the same, like Beechwood and Birchwood.

Blackpool is not my council, Preston is not my council.

Yes, it must be difficult for you to understand the spelling.

[James Wilkinson Sword]

Funny how your address contains "Preston".

It's easy enough for anyone to mistake one for the other.

I do not pay my council tax to Preston Borough Council, this is as I do not
live in the Borough of Preston.

[James Wilkinson Sword]

So Preston council does not include Preston?!
