[BITList] BBC News - Royal Mail set to delete counties fromaddresses

[Michael Feltham]

Hugh,

I don't know if you have tried the Royal Mail Post Code finder, I seem to have more failures than success !  The last few months I have organised a Family Reunion for my wive's family.  Most of her relatives live in N. Wales, they were farmers or living in farm houses.  All their houses have names but there are no road or street names in the country.  The Postman must have a fantastic memory !  The inhabitants know their own post code but no one else does.  Despite this it was a great success with 84 adults and 10 children !

Mike

Mike,
 
This news won't affect us all that much. Our area - Greenock, Port Glasgow, Gourock, Kilmacolm and couple of others - was removed from Renfrewshire and called Inverclyde some years back.  I've never had a letter addressed to Inverclyde.  Our postcode starts with PA, which stands for Paisley, which is in Renftewshire.  Paisley was the county town, and for all I know still is. We used to have to trek up there to renew driving documents.
 
Hugh.
