The house number locations in the UK irks me. I submitted corrections for my neighbourhood for all house numbers. A year later, they all get moved back to roughly where they were.

It took me a while to figure out it's detecting the house numbers from Street View pictures and overriding my corrections.

Ours used to be correct but when I looked today the number and road had changed. I was going to try and correct it but it sounds like that would be a waste of time.

To be fair in our case it has been a mess for a long time, even the Post Office database had an incorrect entry for it.

Same here. Which is extremely weird because the house numbers can be CLEARLY seen in the street view!
