Help with UK post code

Post by Darb »

Hi! I am from the US and am a member of http://www.WheresGeorge.com Which tracks US Dollars. I was wondering about Post Codes over in UK. This one person entered my bill and had Post Code 12321 and said they are from W, UK? Can anyone help me out with this? Thanks -Darb

This is the bill: http://www.wheresgeorge.com/report.php3 ... d&entcnt=1

Someone closer to UK may be able to answer your question better than me, but you might want to have a look at http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/postal.html#uk for some hints, check out the links listed on that page as well.

hmmmz
'12321' doesn't seem a real postal code...
I think it's just someone who invented a postal code.
dunno why :)

I tried also to enter some dollars but I think it's not possible from outside USA/CANADA. It asks about a zip code from USA/Canada but that's ofcourse impossible :?: :?: :!: Can someone help? Darb??

Is that a US zipcode or an Italien one?

Or do they have both?

It's an US zipcode. The base is under US jurisdiction, even though it's located inside the city.
They have their own TV and radio station and they use dollars.

Okay, but what if you want to send someone a post card. what will the address look like. :?:

Norman Schwarzkopf
Building 7, Room 332
90250 Vicenza
United States of America

:?: :?: :?:

Then the card will probably be send to the US first. Or do the italien post people know it has to stay within the country.

What if i want to send Norman a card? I doubt anyone here will know that that card has to go to Italy

There were soldiers in France in the '50s, but they left when De Gaulle asked them to live.
In Orléans, where I was born, there was a big US Military base... and many girls of Orléans got married with american soldiers.
One of my cousin lives now in Vermont, with her husband and children. :)
