Eircode doesn’t even have an Eircode itself

I was thrilled to get my new and long-awaited Eircode in the post this morning. No more problems sending coordinates to my far flung friends and relatives to feed into their sat-navs.

All they had to do now was enter a seven-digit code number, and Bob’s your uncle. Or he would be if my sat-nav accepted the code number.

Notwithstanding that blip, I wanted to immediately send a “thank you“ card to this company for bringing us out of the dark ages - but wait!
