[Talk-GB] different post codes within single block of flats

[Nick]

The 'shell' of the building is not normally addressable so it would not 
have a postcode allocated. I guess this has occured as postcode areas 
normally would cover up to 100 properties. I note that the response in 
the discussion seems to have come from a councillor at Peterborough City 
Council so I assume he has checked with the GIS team.
Not elegant but perhaps use somethinig like addr2:postcode= (this has 
been used rarely e.g. https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/128457240)
