[edit] 10 Downing or 11 Downing for current PM?
This page states that the current Prime Minister Gordon Brown lives at 11 Downing Street, and that Chancellor of the Exchequer Alistair Darling lives at 10 Downing Street with Sybil the cat. However, the various other pages I've linked here seem to indicate the opposite (Brown continuing to live at 10, as he did while Tony Blair lived at 11). —Preceding unsigned comment added by John Darrow (talk • contribs) 22:12, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
- http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6989055.stm says "Sybil - as in Basil and Sybil Fawlty - the black and white moggie is much loved in the home of the current Chancellor of the Exchequer, Alistair Darling. And that home is now the flat above the heart of Britain's government - 10 Downing Street - where the Darlings, including Sybil, have moved to from north of the border." http://www.reuters.com/article/oddlyEnoughNews/idUSGOR14568220070912?feedType=RSS&feedName=oddlyEnoughNews&rpc=22&sp=true says "Sybil, named after Basil's wife in the classic 1970s sitcom "Fawlty Towers," has moved down from Edinburgh with Chancellor of the Exchequer Alistair Darling and his family who are living in the three-bedroomed flat above No. 10. Prime Minister Gordon Brown, his wife Sarah and their two sons live in the bigger flat at Number 11 Downing Street, traditionally the home of the Chancellor." (These are references 8 and 9).

- Page 10 Downing Street says Brown is at 10. Pages 11 Downing Street and Alistair Darling say Darling is at 11. Now, it seems from your references provided above that it is those pages which are incorrect, and this page is correct. However, I have no knowledge of the subject; I was simply pointing out that the pages were inconsistent. John Darrow (talk) 22:38, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
