Postal counties to be dropped from the Postcode Address File
In message , at 13:44:05 on Sun,
1 Aug 2010, Trolleybus remarked: The real problem is the clueless nature of some organisations and their systems. Will things really get better once we get in the habit of not adding the county to addresses? I suspect they'll use postcodes instead. With sufficient granularity that could be fine. OTOH it could easily be a huge mess. It wouldn't have helped me (with an SG8 postcode several miles inside Cambridgeshire) unless they are prepared to go down to at least that level of granularity. Which would also require some central 'body of knowledge' that said "SG8 is a village on the southern fringe of Cambridge, not anywhere near, or remotely associated with, Stevenage". The next village north (Foxton), also famous for being the faux-destination of stopping trains from Kings Cross to Cambridge, did mount a campaign and was eventually re-designated CB22 about ten years ago. -- Roland Perry |
