Irish voters are heading to the polls today for a second referendum on the EU"s Lisbon Treaty. It was previously rejected in a June 2008 referendum.

Its like the one before - let"s keep going to the polls until we get a yes - bit of a farce really cos if its a no we will have another referendum next year.

If at first you don"t succeed -- LOL

I hope it is a No, for the pure fact that we don"t even get a referendum on it.

So the humble postcode is 50 years old. There have been numerous campaigns by people, affected with a funny sort of snobbery, to have their postcodes changed. Famously, 2003, the residents of the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead fought unsuccessfully to lose their SL postcode because it links them with nearby Slough - made famous by comedy series The Office.

Insurance premiums are decided by them, as are property prices. We used to be L66 now we are CH66 don't know if it made any difference? I live on the outskirts of Ellesmere Port and my postcode has been listed as one of the top  postcodes most likely to get a burglary. However saying that it hasn't happened TG but I am sure it affects the price I get for home insurance.

Burglary Hotspots (BBC August 2009)

NG5 Arnold, Notts
LE3 Braunstone, Leicester
NG2 West Bridgford
CH66 Ellesmere Port, Cheshire
LS8 Roundhay, Leeds
SW11 Battersea, south London
S8Norton & Heeley, Sheffield
N8 Hornsey, north London
CR0 Croydon, Surrey
BN3 Hove, Sussex
NG3 Sherwood, Notts
NG8 Bilborough, Notts
BR3 Beckenham, Kent
M28 Worsley, Gtr Manchester
LS15 Crossgates, Leeds
E17 Walthamstow, east London
BS7Horfield, Bristol
SW6 Fulham, south-west London
SE23 Forest Hill, south-east London
SL6 Maidenhead, Berks



Each postcode covers an average of 15 addresses and some large organisations have personalised postcodes, such as the Scottish Parliament"s EH99 1SP and the ExCeL centre in London, E16 1XL. Even Father Christmas has one SAN TA1.

Does anyone have a particularly fancy one or are they all boring like mine or have they found that the postcode has been detrimental to their house price or insurance?

There is a famous question within Royl Mail Group, if you live outside of the North West...

What is the postcode for Blackpool

I hope it is a No, for the pure fact that we don"t even get a referendum on it.
