I'd be interested to see how anyone could fit my rural address into 4 fields - it takes 6 lines if you include 'Scotland' Surely the important thing is to use a system that suits your way of working. US addresses are far more consistent than those outwith the States. I tend to allow 6 lines for addresses as that copes with most eventualities. The US also calls every habitations a 'city' -which seems very alien this side of the Pond.
