Hello Les,

I use England, Wales, Scotland.  GB & UK are political, not
geographical, locations.  But that's my preference.  UK will often be
understood, GB less commonly so.

Full words avoid the confusion that 'St. Gramps St.' inflicts on readers
that don't know what the shorthand means.  Mostly non UK residents, of
course.

FWIW, I don't include the SE, SW, NE etc. in London addresses anyway as
most of the London addresses that appear in my database have counties in
them (Middlesex, most often) as they predate London becoming a 'county'
in its own right.

Just think yourself lucky we haven't colonised the moon yet.   :-)
