English term (edited):
all UK postcodes
Selected
toute adresse au R.-U.
In this instance, the use of 'postcode' isn't really relevant, it simply means 'addresses anywhere in the UK', and I think it would be better to reword it that way for translation purposes.

"all UK postcodes" signifie : vers toutes les adresses du R.-U. auquelles un code postal a été attribué.
Une traduction littérale est préférable parce que :
- il n'est pas certain que tous les codes postaux ont été attribués à des adresses.
- il n'est pas certain que toutes les adresses ont un code postal

: Sorry, but you're understanding of the UK situation is wrong, Arnold: ALL addresses in the UK have some sort of postcode, since they are purely geographic in nature; it really just means 'postal districts'; I think a literal approach would be misleading

Tony : like in USA, submarines have postal codes and no address. UK Embassies abroad are part of UK; do they have a postal code ?
