Hi Colin, Hi BD,
<br>
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
as I live in a country with the maximum "anomality" are different 5-digit postcodes along a street (or sides of said street) I find different codes per building strange to say to least.
<br>
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
I'd go for:
<br>
</div>
<div>
* Remove addr:postcode= from the building's area and add a note=This building has two postcodes, X and Y
<br>
</div>
<div>
* Add two new nodes within the area of the building (not connecting to the area), add all addr:*= with the respective postcodes and add a note=This building (link to way/area of building) has two postcodes, this node is for levels A thru B.
</div>
<div>
* Change the Note in the area to display the links to the Postcode Nodes.
<br>
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
That way the postcodes are searchable and lead to sensible and understand results.
<br>

<p>UK postcodes are for the delivery of mail and not intended to identify buildings or parts of buildings. There will be loads of "anomalies" like this. It's not crazy, it's just not what you are used to.</p>

Hi all,
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
came across this quite strange arrangement:
</div>
<div>
<a target="_blank" href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/93291383" rel="noopener">https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/93291383</a>
<br>
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
As per comment in this changeset it seems that two postcodes are dividing this building in half but not as I would expect.
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
Three floors with one postcode, three with another!? Crazy!
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
I wanted to re-draw the whole thing with underground car park and two separate apartment blocks, expecting that postcodes would be for left and right side of the building.
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
Stacking identical building parts one on another doesn't make too much sense, is there an alternative postcode tag?
</div>
<div>
Any suggestions how to map this?
</div>

<div>
Cheers,
