I don't know of such an example with client-side geocoding (my site
uses server-side geocoding for postcodes because we can use Royal Mail
data). But...

Goeocoding is geocoding. It doesn't matter whether the user supplies a
UK postcode or a real address or an address in Mexico. What they input
is geocoded to provide a lat and lng for your database query. It's
exactly the same as the Store Locator tutorial at
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/articles/phpsqlsearch.html -- scroll
down to "Searching near a Geocode".
