I'm rather taken by the little patch of AL (St Albans) that apparently
lies just outside Bishop's Stortford as well as the fact that, unknown
to many of its residents, Ware is in the HP (Hemel Hempstead) postcode
area, whilst Hertford is in the CM (Chelmsford) one. SV (Stevenage)
seems to have been abolished altogether!

Stevenage is SG, and is represented.

Ah, but that's a little more understandable, since SV is either a very new
or a very long-discontinued postcode. Was it anywhere near SG
(Stevenage)...?

SG (Stevenage) appears fine. SV never existed, I expect.

Apparently I should have a GU postcode. Which is strange, living in
Wakefield.

Apologies for my typo (G is above V on a QWERTY keyboard and I managed
to hit the wrong one!). Oddly SV was the code for London Transport's
Stevenage bus garage.

My point was that Hertford (SG13 and SG14) is shown as being in CM
(Chelmsford), which it isn't and Ware (SG12) is shown as being in HP
(Hemel Hempstead), which it certainly isn't. The bit of St Albans (AL)
just outside Bishop's Stortford still has me confused though.

Apparently my parents live on a boat in the Channel.
