[QUOTEemma6923902841]In the UK, I think America and USA are both far more commonly used than US or United States. The States falls somewhere in the middle I think.

As a Brit, I wouldn't say "double one double two" for an address, I would use eleven twenty two or one one two two. Phone numbers on the other hand, I would use the doubles.[/QUOTE]

Absolutely.

Saying double one double two in an address just sounds strange and not British at all.
