Well my guess at the numbering of the houses on the odd-side of Coronation Street paid off! Good quiz, @Mi-Amigo - head-scratching, definitely! Well done all!

Thank you @Mi-Amigo another great WRQ quiz and with a change to your schedule, I have just answered the new number questions. As for this WRQ, I just about snuck into the Thinker awards with a nice red one for my imaginary collection. 😅

Well done to all those that played, some ranging scores but I hope everyone enjoyed it. 👍
