does your postcode cover a full county

does your postcode cover a FULL county or even overlap into another county an example cheshire is covered by ST C W CH WA so how can you work in all but two offices in a county ?

[midegarelu]

Down in Hampshire the County is covered by GU,RG,PO,BH,SO & SP.
But I'am sure there are lots of other examples like this out there!

yes . someone on here said they had worked in all delivery offices but two in their county when they were a reserve

My post code overlaps two counties.

I assume your talking about the difference between someone saying ive worked every office in EX (for example)
As opposed to every office in Devon which also has TQ ? i believe.
Bit pedantic?


Without wanting to advertise exactly where this fella works.
Just looking at the map there are a
few counties that boundary wise as in governance/ constituency roughly match their main postcode .
Berkshire, oxford shire, Northampton, Hereford. to name a few.

I get your point that most counties like Hampshire are a minefield of postcodes and a reserve couldn't cover half of it
with there being probably 4 different area managers.

All Postcodes cover just one street or part of a street.
Postcode Areas however are most likely to cover full counties in rural areas, such as SY much of mid Wales and LL much of North Wales, and they will cover the whole of many of the new Unitary Authorities.

No, there's much more to Cheshire than Lawton Street, Congleton.
They say 'you learn something new every day' and you certainly do with Royal Mail Chat.
