Spenny Posted January 13, 2015 I'm not sure if this is true across the country, or maybe I just live on a border, but the other side of the street has a different post code than me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apple Cider Posted January 13, 2015 I put a zip from a previous address to ease my Internet Paranoia. Anyway, ATL #1 etc etc. My previous address is in NYC, so that wouldn't work, ha! But my paranoia is also informed by the fact that I have a restraining order against someone so I feel justified in being a bit reticent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikemariano Posted January 13, 2015 Anonymous in New York. Can i come stay with you? x That's me putting my workplace instead of my new, shabby domicile in New Jersey. I recommend staying far away from where I actually live, but if you want to stay in my office go for it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Badfinger Posted January 13, 2015 Well yeah but that's what Ireland has. In Dublin there's a million people so we have a series of postcodes for the regions around the city. But in my home town of Kilkenny there's maybe tens of thousands of people, so I dunno why they'd need postcodes. I imagine it's a combo of what James said. The worse your handwriting or the crazier the address, the more a postal code is a necessity. They can at least get it to the right post office that way and then the resident handwriting wizard can decipher it. e: I finally found out where video games come from. According to this map, ATLANTA! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elmuerte Posted January 13, 2015 I work for a company that makes software for the logistics sector. Ireland is always a pain for its lack of postal codes. A lot logistic stuff (cost calculation, sorting/hubs, etc.) is based on postal codes. You can't define a range of city names like you can with postal codes. Also, people really suck in writing city names correctly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mangela Lansbury Posted January 13, 2015 I put a zip from a previous address to ease my Internet Paranoia. Anyway, ATL #1 etc etc. I put a nearby zip, since my last one would have been in Atlanta and I suuuuuuper don't live there anymore. Same concept though, I guess!

undermind9 Posted January 13, 2015 i just tweaked some of the "error" pins, specifically the El Paso = LA post, silly Bing Using the webform it keeps the spreadsheet safe from being mucked up and also hides any user submitted info (just comes up as "web user"), but if someone really wanted an entry changed just drop me a note Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
