Interesting, although the search is somewhat broken. My postcode area<br>
SY4, brings up nothing despite there being lots in Telford and<br>
Shrewsbury. I would expect it to be able to tell me where the nearest<br>
is, even if it was in Central London.<br>
<br>
Wonders if it would allow me to have something delivered to one of these<br>
locations.<br>
<br>
A few years ago pizza hut did prevent me ordering a pizza online for<br>
collection because the collection point was too far from my home (card<br>
registered address).<br>
