Had some fun with this, thanks. I'd re-word "Postcode areas that do not share a starting letter" to read "...with a unique starting letter" - I didn't know what you meant.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll see if I can reword it a bit - it wouldn't quite be unique starting letters (eg. TD isn't the only postcode abbreviation starting with T!) :)

Or would you suggest I change the question to just be unique starting letters?
