[Talk-GB] Postcodes

Excuse the noob question as I’ve not been on the list long.

I’m doing a bit of work trying to create an open version of the OS Codepoint Polygons. To do this I need as much postcode data as possible. I’ve been looking at extracting this from OSM and as far as I can tell I’m looking for the following tags:-

-addr:postal_code
-addr:postcode
-postal_code
-postcode

Are there any others I’m missing? And I guess I am (sadly) right in thinking there is not a huge amount of data in there, circa 40-50k records?

Thanks
Dave
