Talk:Postcodes in the United Kingdom

The Postcode_district section here defines the postcode district as the end of the out code (e.g. the 19 in SW19).

The List of postcode districts ... page equates the "district" with the complete out code (e.g. SW19).

Being pedantic I know, but which defines "district"? -- GhostInTheMachine (talk) 11:34, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

Article includes "Some older road signs in Hackney still show the North East (NE) sector/district."

Can anyone provide photographic evidence for this?

The section “Design limitations” reads a bit like someone’s individual essay, and none of the perceived shortcomings or potential measures to avoid them are sourced individually. -- pne (talk) 18:26, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

:Agreed. I have removed this material. Furius (talk) 19:45, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

Parts of this article (such as the 'Postcode districts and numbering' section) read a lot like AI to me. There are some factual errors, and the way the section is laid out generally looks like it. Gksgnk7 (talk) 20:08, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

The Postcode lottery article, despite its hatnote claim, contains a negligible amount of information about the disparity in services etc. between different geographic areas and a lot about other (non-postal) uses of postcodes. Merged content from that article would better fit within the "Other uses" section of this article. BobKilcoyne (talk) 03:46, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

:Oppose as stated, but I think that the material not relevant to the topic of Postcode lottery should be deleted or moved; that move, of some of the material, might well be to this page. Merging what's left in Postcode lottery to Unwarranted variation might then be better. Klbrain (talk) 14:38, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
