Re: [Ad?] A couple of apps you might find usefull.

Neat  :-)   The first time my postcode was a way out (30 miles) but
seems OK now I don't know what happened  :-(    . BTW postcodes need the
space including.   I read the thing about the postcode DB Stuart - isn't
it possible to use Google maps feature of just searching for the
postcode ( via the API) and hence not use a postcode DB at all ?
