It knows "LS3 1" of "LS3 1AB"
It knows "LS29 1" of "LS29 1AB" (or it would, if LS29
1AB was a real
postcode).
In other words, it doesn't know the letters bit of the "minor"
part of
postcodes. (No doubt the post office have a technical name for that
part of the postcode but I don't know what it is!)
