RE: UK Counties

[Stuart Poulton <swp@xxxxxxx>]

Jon,

Good idea, a little harder to show graphically on a map, counties at
least have well defined borders that are easy to find on the web,
postcodes of course are a little more difficult.


Ideally long term I'd like to be able to pinpoint postcodes on maps,
and
do distance measurement between point, but this costs money.
