Absolutely, would be so good to put the postcode genie back in the bottle. Postal addresses are the reason Donington Park is referred to as The Derbyshire Circuit by geographicakk ignorant motor racing commentators, its in Leicestershire. Ramblers are assigned to wrong county as a result of postcodes, it took some work to convince London office staff that that Castle Donnngton, Kegworth, Measham, Moira are in Leicestershire. Its a shame grid references are not taught in schools, they are as simple to use and remember. They give geographic meaning, I can see instantly that SK53 lives in an area 100km east and 10km north of me.
