[LRUG] looking up uk addresses from postcode

[David Salgado]

I've used postcodeanywhere, who were OK but a bit pricy IIRC, and also this
outfit; http://www.overmap.co.uk

They were fine, although they needed a bit of help with their algorithm that
detected which bit of a string was the postcode! Given that a) that's their
business, and b) it took all of 5 minutes to Google for a suitable regexp,
that wasn't all that impressive, but the service itself seems OK.

All the best

David
