POSTCODES WILL BE introduced for every address in the country by spring next year.

The Wall Street Journal has written about the challenges facing the new system: while it will make it easier to deliver post, there are concerns that the system is intrusive and could make it easier to send junk mail.

So we’re asking: How do you feel about postcodes?

Poll Results:

Good idea. About time they're brought in. (4976)

Don't like them. (2163)

No strong feelings, really. (1963)
