Wikileaks does it again.... this time with postcodes!!

Wed, 16 Sep 2009

Well Wikileaks is at it again. This time it's supposedly the entire Royal Mail Postcode Address File (PAF) as a 241Mb CSV text file. Its a little smaller compressed and purports to be from July 8th. I'm sure this will upset a few people, not least the Royal Mail as it's an income stream (and probably the OS as well). Of course postcodes change so for "live" lookups (e.g. address filling on shopping sites) it won't be good enough, but for everyone else.....
