I don't understand. Why are you mentioning the trade-offs of doing this in Germany when I'm talking about the UK?

Even so, postcodes in the UK aren't town-specific, they're more like street-specific, roughly.

I am comparing very specific postcodes (as in the UK) to very broad postcodes (as in Germany). While the former allow for very simple addresses (street number + post code), they come with the trade-off I mentioned.
