Yes, but so will the db that you buy from the Post Office. I spent a couple of years living in a house that shared a streetnumber/postcode tuple with another house round the corner. It made it hard to fill out web forms, because postcode lookups were keyed on that tuple, which it turns out isn't always unique. Unfortunately, the search results tended to favour our neighbour, but we did occasionally get mail addressed to them! After a while, a new terrace was built in my street. We ended up with three houses sharing the same house number and postcode! > > -- Ian Eiloart _______________________________________________ Mailing list [email protected] Archive, settings, or unsubscribe: https://secure.mysociety.org/admin/lists/mailman/listinfo/developers-public
