645.0. "Correct post code for Viables (CSC) ?" by KERNEL::SHELLEYR () Mon May 10 1993 17:18

    Can someone tell me which is the correct post code for the Customer
    Services Centre (Viables).
    
    I have just got some new business cards with the same address
    as my old cards but the post code is different -
    
    Digital Equipment Co. Limited
    Jays Close
    Basingstoke
    Hampshire
    
    RG22 4DE     - New
    
    RG21 4BS     - Old
    
    
    Has it changed in the last 4 years or is one of them wrong ?

645.1No measurable difference between them in my experienceKERNEL::BELLHear the softly spoken magic spellMon May 10 1993 20:5616
  I think it just toggles between the two states ... the postcode used when I
  started was RG22 4DE but sometime later the alternative (RG21 4BS) started
  to appear.  No-one then could give me a good reason to change so I didn't ...
  and I've been getting post delivered here without any problem�.

  Don't worry about it ... we've changed our name from Field Service to Customer
  Services to MultiVendor Services [+ occasional variations en-route] without
  any perceptible effect on the outside world as well ! (And I'm not even going
  to mention the logo :-)

� The only problem I've had with mail has been getting it from the UVO post room
  to my desk without going via other people [and even other buildings!] but that
  is a completely different issue ...

Did your new cards come with a burgundy logo?

    I queried this with reception a long time ago. The explanation was/is
    that the boundary between the two post code areas runs through the
    building or the area covered by the buildings + surrounds so we qualify 
    for both. I'm pretty sure it wasn't early April when I asked but the 
    answer seems strange.....

    ......just to add confusion.... I live in Chineham  (yea,  I  know.. 
    sad  ain't  it).  I  got a Royal Mail postcard yesterday saying that 
    I now have a postcode of RG24 8RD and not RG24 0RD as before.
