By the way, this is a decent data product, but all of their example code
is horrific. If you plan to buy from them, schedule time to write your
own. It's basically fixed-length records with a string table at the end,
so very easy. And if you want a pure Ruby implementation, drop me a note.

This all looks great!
While we've got package pages for many of these - I'll try and make
sure they all get added to CKAN. Perhaps tagged 'postcode' and 'zip'.
I also just came across this, for the UK:
