Never!

The Postcode is objectively superior to the telephone area code. This has been proved by science, comrades!

That's not an area code. It's a ZIP code.

95129>55414>LL57

(Because we need a little Britain-hating.)

I'm assuming our zip codes are equivalent to British postal codes.

But 55414>95129 (since I assume that's suburban)

Since Santa Clara County is a giant suburb (of what I'm not sure, but it's certainly suburban), you're right.

So what you're saying is, 60311 > 069.

After all, 069 is all of Frankfurt except Nieder-Erlenbach and Bergen-Enkheim, plus Offenbach, plus Liederbach. 60311 is just the southern half of the medieval city.

No, huge difference. Area codes are for phones, zip codes for mail.

Curt Gowdy (sports broadcaster for NBC) would always give game times for MST, because he was from Wyoming.

I know a guy originally from Boston who now lives in Chicago, but no matter where he is he always refers to the time when sports games or other events start in Eastern Time. "Eastern Time is the only time that matters". He also keep his clock set to Eastern Time.

He is a prick in many other facets of life as well.

Officially, its a suburb of San Francisco, even though Santa Clara County has twice the population of San Fran. The latter is far more well known.

Well, I can't really call it a suburb of The City, since very few people commute there from Santa Clara County. The whole area is suburban, interrupted by a couple of office buildings scatttered throughout the valley. No real downtown.

Officially the Census classifies most of Santa Clara county as part of the San Jose urban area. That in turn is part of the San Francisco - Oakland - San Jose metropolitan area.

When it comes to television in the Mountain Time Zone broadcast networks run on Central time and cable networks run on Eastern time. It's quite odd.
