OK, agreed re the usefulness of post codes. Until now I had no idea of their wider utility. However they are not 100% on the mark - if you try SW6 1BE, my local Evans Cycles, you are presented with a map of Germany!
A separate linked blog seems a simple solution.

Interesting, Geoff.
If I do a search with that postcode in Google/Google Maps, it knows I am searching for London.
Does you browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari or whatever) or your internet service provider think that you are based in Germany and hence is using that as the starting point for the search.
I had something like that recently that was trying to resolve a UK postcode in the US, but I forget exactly what it was or why.
