Can we have an 'Address Line 2' field as standard please?
It's just that many UK addresses have two address lines before, town, county, and Postcode. I find myself having to create a custom field every time, which is no problem but I think it would be handy for many people if it were a standard field.
Personally, I write my address as 1234 Street Apt 12 when there are two address fields and 1234 Street Apt 12 when there's one address field, and it doesn't seem like a problem. The extra field makes visual clutter and can lead to confused/hurried people typing the wrong thing in the second box. I don't expect to make it standard unless a lot of people want it.
I see your point about putting it on one line and that's probably ok for short ones as yours, but some addresses (including mine) in the UK are rather long to do that. I know I always curse when on a site that doesn't have a second address line
Not sure about a lot of people, depends how many UK people you have , but count me in wanting that

I guess I could have a switch for it.
