Here we have a classic case of numerical rotting disease (NRD) which afflicts mainly even numbers (though not prime numbers) and is specially vicious in multiples of fifteen, ten and five. This interesting case was brought to the attention of the NRD Emergency Clinic (NRD) of the NYHCCH who rushed to the scene with cameras and face masks. It wasn’t long before they had wrestled the number to the ground and placed it in a zipped bag. The owner of No 30 should consider a ceramic house number from The House Number Shop to avoid a long spell in a federal penitentiary for neglecting his number.
