very true, but the Poat Office uses "traditional" (Victorian) counties.

Went to Screwfix the other day (because they had a 1.79 cable not listed at Toolstation).
First question the bloke asked me: "What's your postcode?" I declined to give it He had to call his supervisor Then he asked what I wanted They didn't have it in stock He said they can get it in Then he asked for cash upfront
Then I decided I could go home and order it from ebay and have it delivered for less money, saving another trip to SF...

And some not - like Angus and Midlothian.
So no different from Englandshire?

Wales at the very bottom of the shit pile - a conquered nation and never allowed to forget it.
Time to remind the English of 1066 AD and 55 BC?

Karma, I would say. It's not so extremely long ago when the English, or Londoners at the least, had the same attitude to all the rest.

No doubt it depends on which browser and which OS you use, but hitting the 'End' key usually takes me to the end of the list, near UK and US.

Paxton, more or less on the Scottish/English border and near Berwick, has a TD15 Northumberland post code.
Lauder, miles from the border, has a TD2 Berwickshire post code.
All done just to wind up the SNP, at a guess.

TD (Tweedale) is a Scottish Postcode centred on Galashiels. All areas are in Scotland except TD15 (Berwick on Tweed)
and, when I was a student, most of Northumberland received its electricity from the South East Scotland Electricity Board.

Which doesn't make "County" a relevant part of the address.
The town is useful as a check for a simple mistyping of the post code, but having to type "Cambridgeshire" when I have just typed "Cambridge" is **** annoying.

As they have been mucked around elsewhere in the UK.

They got mucked around by Edward Heath - much more than those in England were.

I owned all the land. So no-one could. My nearest neighbour was 1/4 mile away. All my neighbours had unique postcodes. Hard to grasp for a townie I suppose.

Post code and surname will get to us... I strongly suspect name, post town and county would as well, county only needed as there are a couple of other towns with the same name as our post town.
