Thinking about this more, I wonder if the following will work.
Street names in the UK tend to end with words like Street, Avenue, Crescent etc, if I replace these with say an asterisk then I can remove anything right of the asterisk to get my street name.
Will need to test on a large address data set to see how it performs.

It takes a minimal capacity for rational thought to see that the corporate 'free press' is a structurally irrational and biased, and extremely violent, system of elite propaganda.

Society has varying and conflicting interests; what is called objectivity is the disguise of one of these interests - that of neutrality. But neutrality is a fiction in an unneutral world. There are victims, there are executioners, and there are bystanders... and the 'objectivity' of the bystander calls for inaction while other heads fall.
