I see, thank you very much Barry and others for your patience.
Apologies for my ineptitude.

For a postcode search (e.g. BS8 1TH),

full key, callback, gl=uk
- I get one inaccurate response.  (Thinking about "uk" is probably
Ukraine or something.)

full key, callback, gl=gb
- I get several choices as per Thor's suggestion - one of these is
accurate - I can work with this.

Searching for a place (e.g. Birmingham)

full key, callback, gl=gb
I get Birmingham, Alabama - not GB centric!

full key, callback, gl=uk
I get Birmingham, UK.

I'm still confused,

Mark
