validateUKAddressfunction
Checks an address in the United Kingdom against Royal Mail's postcode grammar and the tables: the postcode is well formed, Royal Mail uses its area, and in Great Britain Code-Point Open lists its district. Says when a postcode is Jersey's, Guernsey's or the Isle of Man's, which are not part of the UK, and warns when the postcode or the post town is missing.
