Important: Given the inherent unreliability of using a service like this, it's probably sensible to let us know you're using it so we can hang on to your email and let you know if anything important happens. Hopefully the Royal Mail will be nice, and license us to use the postcode database. Then you'll be able to rely on us and this service will become a seamless and transparent part of the web's infrastructure, like it ought to be.
