Libpostal fails to parse a UK address

[yogeshrao]

Hi!

I was checking out libpostal, and saw something that could be improved.

---

My country is

India

---

Here's how I'm using libpostal

Trying it out as a address parser instead of Regex

---

Here's what I did

Using Pypostal parsed address "The Vineyard Warehouse,Newbury Road,Andover,Hampshire,SP10 4EU,GB"

---

Here's what I got

Response : [('the vineyard warehouse', 'house'), ('newbury road', 'road'), ('andover', 'city'), ('hampshire', 'state_district'), ('sp10', 'postcode'), ('4eu', 'city'), ('gb', 'country')]

---

Here's what I was expecting

Correct Response : [('the vineyard warehouse', 'house'), ('newbury road', 'road'), ('andover', 'city'), ('hampshire', 'state_district'), ('sp10 4eu', 'postcode'), ('gb', 'country')]

4eu (part of postcode is considered as city even when parser has parsed andover as city)
