The Canadian postal code system has a lot of strange features.
The most obvious one is this code for the north pole and all the letters to
Santa.
However, the letter H is not a valid first letter for any other area.
V is the last code used, W X Y and Z are not valid addresses
Letters which may be confused for numbers are often omitted from the
sequence
