FACT ATTACK: There have been a number of deaths caused by people bungee-jumping off buildings and miscalculating the length of their rope by forgetting the lack of a 13th floor.

I cannot guarantee the accuracy of this fact.

For more info on 13, 12a, 11,12,14,15etc... , go to www.wikipedia.org and search for 13 (number).

does anybody know why the house numbers in Albert square are not in any chronological order.

they start with 1, 3, 5 between the playground and car lot, then 23, 25, 27, 29, 31, facing bridge street, then 18 and 20 next to the Beale's house, 41, 43, 45, bridge street, then 46 (queen Vic) and 47. Don't understand why they weren't numbered chronologically when they programmes started.

Perhaps they were bombed during the war.
