| Description |
This is my combination of other UK postcode examples to date in this library. This is similar to Howard Richards’s solution in that it only permits valid combinations of letters, e.g. BN works, BM does not. The space(s) are optional, and the string to match does not have to be in an upper or lower case. On top of that this allows BFPO (http://www.bfpo.mod.uk/bfponumbers_ships.htm) and Overseas Territories Postcodes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK_postcodes) Please let me know if you have any suggetion to improve this! |

Comment:
BL0 postcodes do not work
e.g. BL0 0AJ and BL0 9SL
