 * Hello,
    we really like your plugin, but every time when we tried to look up some
   postcode from the list we added (in a correct format suburb:postcode) we get 
   error message “Error: Invalid Postcode”. We use London postcodes in these formats
   for example:
 * London:E1 1HP
    London:E1 1PX London:E1 1NL London:E1 1HL
 * What is causing the issue, please?
    Many thanks, Kamila

 * Hello,
 * I come across this plugin these days and installed it to use it in my website,
   which purpose is to serve UK postcodes, as user “kampg” was written above as 
   well.
 * I understand that this was built in Australia, to serve the suburbs over there,
   but is there a way to make use of this plugin as well in the UK, to change a 
   bit the code?
 * This would be much appreciated.
 * I think this plugin it’s amazing and can help so many people internationally!
 * Love Ya!

 * This plugin is very simple and useful unfortunately does not work with UK Postcodes
   wish somebody adds it or make a tweek to enable uk postcodes.

 * Sorry for the late reply, I will look into it today and come up with a fix.
 * Edit:
    I have updated the plugin to allow international postcodes or postcodes
   with text. In the admin options under postcode settings there is now a checkbox
   that allows you to check if the users input postcode is all integers, for postcodes
   that are alphanumeric you would leave this unchecked.
