[Philip Barnes]

 I'd love £1 for everyone one of our visitors has arrived via the local sorting office.

Postcodes are good for delivering post, not for navigation/insurance etc.

The one with all the Royal Mail trucks outside on StreetView you mean?


Some large businesses which have special delivery arrangements and have 
their own postcodes will map to the local delivery office, which is what 
you are seeing here.
