Roman Numerals - Should we replace L?

77 on the other hand must be auspicious and popular. On my street (Marlborough Road) there are four houses numbered 77.

If 7 is a lucky number, maybe 77 is twice as lucky.
In the 1950s there was a television show called "77 Sunset Strip." It had a character named Kooky, who had a song "Kookie, Kookie, lend me your comb."

No, three are as old as the street and built on the same (terrraced) pattern. There was a gap between two of them and the fourth Number 77 was built in it, and numbered 77A. When we moved here first in 1972 they were "77 Ashmere", "77A", "77 Rossa House", and "77". The last is now labelled 77B.
