Post Codes are not infallible, even in towns, iur code covers more thanh one house, so a number is vital.

Out of town, a post code can cover several square miles; the more remote, the larger the area, it seems.

(On one occasion, having set a post code on the sat nav, told me that I had arrived at my destinatioon, on a long straight road with no building in sight for a couple of miles each way!

For six monbths, I worked as a parcels courier, and sometimes the adre3ss was so vague that havinbg traversed a road several times, the only solution was fo to radio the office abd get them to obtain specific details. Often Thye delivery address had been passed several times!

A number or a house name

My present PostCode currently covers only a group of dwellings that all have names.
