[Gvsig_english] Geocodification in gvSIG

[evangelia kappa]

Miguel,

here is also what appears to be the norm for the UK
(according to the Royal Mail website,
http://www.royalmail.com/portal/rm/content1?catId=400044&mediaId=9200078#4300060)
although things get funny in London area, particularly the post code bit,
which doesn't seem to be that consistent or following a standard.

Building/House  Name
Number of building/house and Name of of thoroughfare (street, avenue, etc.)
Locality name
Town/City name (always in capitals)
Post code (always in capitals, and normally 2 letters, followed by 1 or 2
numbers, space, followed by 1 or 2 numbers, and then 2 letters).

e.g.
Banbury Place
100 Banbury Road
Summertown
OXFORD
OX2 6JU

as already mentioned, post codes in london could have more than 2 letters,
followed by some number and then one more letter, then space, etc.. no
standard though there i am afraid..

hope it helps

/Evangelia
