I'm guessing what's confusing people is where you're getting the
postcode data from.

So just quickly, that's:

 - full post code search: Google search on postcode looking for
address -> Namefinder search on address

 - prefix search, or post code used as area limiter:
http://trac.openstreetmap.org/browser/sites/namefinder/postcodeprefix.sql

The only question remaining being, where does that SQL file come from?
NPE maps, free the postcode etc I presume?
