From a postal point of view, the result of a lookup on the Royal Mail website is the best way of checking a postcode and the return from DA10 1AZ is longer than some results and is what Steve listed originally. If we can actually use that view of the data is a little grey, but one can at least check where one is shipping something is correct. I'm sure manually top level sorting post, the post person will be looking at the postal town rather than the postcode, but on automated machines then only the name and postcode are relevant. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
