I live in a place that the post office says doesn't exist
Carshalton Beeches
There are those who expect to see stretches of sand; but we'll say no more
of that. There were apparently 4 tall beech trees by the side of main road
that has been there for centuries which were held to mark a coach stop, as
in coach and horses, not national express
But the P O cross it out and write London Borough of Sutton
LBS is held to be an example of David Cameron's Blag Society - which is
partly why I am against it

And even in the far west of Cornwall, even beyond Cornwall, on Scilly,
listed by the Normans as a foreign possession -- like they ever owned
anything apart from shaven-headed chutzpah -- you are post-coded by
reference to Truro - TR
