Great advice bro....
Saying that bro..I am kinda shitting myself when i do some walkups on my next little adventure..( What if i knock on the wrong door and a family lives there...AHH..Getting ...
You know what? It's not paranoid
... bin there dun that ... some old dude (or worse, granny) opens ... quick "sorry, wrong address" and walk off ...
But don't worry, it only happens if you're focussed on a hidden gem (yup, they're worth taking a risk for) whose off the beaten track.
For beginners, very unlikely to happen: the vast majority of 141s have big signs all over them ("Welcome", Sex 161, "
lease Ring", "
lease Wait", etc. etc.) and many even have big pink lights and decoration.
Even the stairwells have writing on them "come up to 4f" etc...
... and in any case, you've made a clear note of which flat and which floor they're on - right??
Just beware of potential confusion around what is 1f - Chinese counting starts with 1f at ground level - UK counting starts with g/f, and 1f above it. You can often see both represented in the stairwell: a Chinese character being 1 number higher than the Arabic numeral next to it! Remember that and you're set.
