Also to note as well that in some places you won't get certain runway numbers because they are deemed unlucky.

Which I only just realised last year. When my heading was off by 12 degrees and after checking the plate found the ILS track was the same as what I was getting on the HSI via flux valve. FO came up with the idea that if they had called it the proper number that would have made it unlucky. Which is to be honest the only logical reason why they would miss that number out. They missed that floor number out as well in tall buildings.
