Quote: Leyther_Matt "Aren't the postcodes related to the larger sorting offices? That's why Leigh has a WN postcode although the Post Office list 'Leigh, Lancashire' as the postal town with no mention of Wigan. All a bit weird mind as if I lived 100 yards down the road then I'd have an M46 postcode. I certainly understand where people are coming from though and it's a bugbear from our point of view to see 'Wigan Council' all over the place after they rebranded by stealth from the previous Wigan MBC, which at least acknowledged it was the merger of the old boroughs.'"
you think that's weird - my mum lives in Clifton which is M27 and her next door neighbour is in Kerasley (Bolton BL) !!!
