Default [OT] Postal counties to be dropped from the Postcode Address File

In message , at 20:20:21 on Thu,
5 Aug 2010, Ian Jelf remarked:
The moral of all this - an a moral all too frequently not understood by
the Great British Public - is that postal addresses and administrative
geography un Britain are very different things.


The bigger problem is not that it's poorly understood by the public, but
that it's poorly understood by businesses who attempt to carve up their
service areas based on postcode, when administrative (and physical)
geography is usually a better idea.
