Maps.google.com supports full UK postcodes, so it finds the point in 
Essex.

The API geocoder doesn't, and it just so happens that it considers "EX8 
Suzhou" to be a better match than "EX8 Devon". The ccTLD only adds a 
slight bias to the ranking of possible results. If you want to force a 
particular country, then you need to add the country code to the query.

[Note: it is now safe to specify the country code more than once in the 
query, so you can just add " UK" to the end of whatever your user has 
entered without checking to see if they've already specified the 
country.]
