This is interesting, and may be good value - but needs a pinchette of
salt, if my local experience is anything to go by. Several attempts to
get Brighton & Hove to define themselves (in relation to East/West Sussex)
in these terms have got the response that it can't be done accurately by
postcodes. So, if this situation is repeated around the country, the
lookup table being advertised may be good enough for a first pass, but
probably can't be relied on too much.
