There are also some rather complex rules about which letters are, and are not, allowed in certain positions in the various possible formats of the outward component (the first bit).
    Oh, hush, party pooper.

    I saw a blonde bird driving a car with a BJ08 number plate yesterday which made me smile.

    Come up with validly formatted (typically AA9 9AA or AA99 9AA) postcodes that make up naughty words, in the way some people do with car registration plates.

    For example:

    BR3 4ST
    EW3 5EX

    I know there are lots of clean words (because I have a vast electronic word list and just wrote a noddy program to find them and got over 4,000) but it is very light on salacious terms.
    Yup, he's just fine Zips.
