@xssfox I like that that also shows another fallacy: - Postcodes can be treated as numbers
@simon_w I love averaging postcodes :P
@xssfox Turns out the average postcode doesnβt exist, though 3709 and 3711 both do
@simon_w @xssfox see also phone numbers
@simon_w 1012 JS would like to have a word with you.
(Also: spaces in postcodes.)

@simon_w @xssfox I had never actually contemplated treating postcodes as numbers, but I think that may just be a British thing because our postcodes always have letters in - I still find it odd that my postcode where I live now is purely numeric.
@simon_w @xssfox True. And worse, when they start with leading zeros xD
@simon_w @xssfox as a Territorian I can confirm, postcodes being stored as integers is really bloody annoying...
