I think I can answer "yes" to your question... In the Dracos list a few postboxes do indeed have postcodes show, for example EN11 8ER for one near me at Bridle Way North (postbox EN11 106) which is here: http://osm.org/go/euvurWOSt--?m That postcode is (according to www.uk-postcodes.com) in Code Point Open but at this location: http://osm.org/go/euvr_QbtL--?m Which just happens to be the location of the local delivery office ;-) Tom -- Tom Hughes (t...@compton.nu) http://compton.nu/ _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
