Falling behind Richard? I've just brillo-ed the oven shelves, ain't I just a creep?

Hopefully tomorrow ..... depending on SWMBO and any last minute instructions.  |
Hi, have just updated my uk postcode files, courtesy of Oldboys site. I have 3 720's, and noticed one of them, a recently purchased refurb, had additional files in the zip folder, namely Great_Britain.tlv and Nederland.tlv, both around 336 bytes, could not decifer them using notepad, any idea as to their purpose ?? |

Has some purpose when using HOME, but does nothing for the workings of the Data Files themselves.

Hi Richard, thanks for that, but why are these files only on 1 720 out of 3, when they all have identical maps and software ?? |

You'd be better off asking TT that. Why does TT bring in anything new!
Probably to confuse the likes of you and me.

I presume Richard's website is back alive again? I'll be off to look for those postcode files, then. Why hasn't he got a line in his signature saying "For useful stuff to download, CLICK HERE"?

They go with the Ss - that's what apostrophes are.
And Mike, since when did "www" stand for "For useful stuff to download, CLICK HERE" - shouldn't it be "fustdch"?

Scary - my postcode is now contained in this update!
Just out of interest, my road isnt correct as per the description in the postcode list, such as AB12 3CD ANY ROAD , im wondering is this because my road doesnt appear on my map ?
The road listed in the description is off my road and shown on the map.
( and for info - its only my complete road with same postcode )
Thanks for postcode DB update!
