Ah dont worry Phil, sure all the bills will go paperless..............eventually!!!!

HeidiHeidi · 13-07-2015 02:05PM

If you take this to its logical conclusion (a big stretch for Liveline, I know), who decided that the Limerick/Clare border is where it is, and why wasn't it 10 miles away, or 100 yards away.

My father's home address was in Mayo, but postal address in Sligo. What's the big deal?

BPKS · 13-07-2015 02:05PM

Ah f-this I'm out.

Paying themselves and associates they can sort that fairly rapid

They're pretty good at increasing their pension pots.

We'd be on the wrong place on the map with this system.

Governments and IT projects are not natural bedfellows, apart from lining pockets - they're pretty good at that.

Looks like Windsor Castle to me..........Y'know, Lizzies gaff!

somesoldiers · 13-07-2015 02:09PM

POLL....a straw one

Atlantic Dawn · 13-07-2015 02:09PM

What happens if you order from overseas, those companies are unlikely to want to pay €30k a year to get some codes?

Hamilcar · 13-07-2015 02:09PM

sour grapes from the loser

Not just their pension pots but those of hundreds of thousands of civil servants too.

It's actually Windsor Castle from the sky and an angle it's not normally photographed from. It is open to the public but even in the summer they close at around 5/5:30 so be warned (I learned this to my cost). Windsor is about 20mins (max) in a taxi from Heathrow and there's public transport too from the airport if required. As castles go, it's right up there with any I've visited. See Meathlass, we have so much in common…...;):D

Does anyones address match birdflu, H7N7?

27,000,000 euros spent. Why?

Atlantic Dawn · 13-07-2015 02:12PM

Next up they will sell the rights to add them to a satnav to the worst manufacturer on earth with terrible design and do an exclusive deal.

Why is he saying eircode won't help someone who is lost? Sure that's not what is for

If it worked it would be. Picture the scene:

"OK, go down the road to ABC311 and turn left. When you come to CAK451, turn right and it is on your left, just across from DCF819."

It always struck me as a bit close to the common herd on the doorstep, that place.

Would that be Birdhill?

Cost of generating random codes: €0.01
Consultant fees: €26,999,999.99

Richmond Ultra · 13-07-2015 02:12PM

If you can't use google maps with the system then its used.

Btw the eircode for Coppers is very good. Somebody clearly took the piss out of Coppers with it.

bottlebrush · 13-07-2015 02:13PM

Am missing some of this discussion as work keeps getting in the way
What happens with these post codes - do you just put the postcode on the letter and leave out the address, or put the address plus the postcode on the letter

What does it matter about the postcode if the postman knows where you live

Firefox11 · 13-07-2015 02:13PM

I would love to get a letter with harps on it! :P
