Geocoding addresses

Hi all,

I have a spreadsheet of 200 UK addresses (Address, Town, Postcode) and I need to plot them as points on a map to allow some analysis on their proximity to flooding.

All the tutorials and plugins I have found online all focus on American addresses (i.e state, city, code). I haven't tried them yet with UK addresses so just wanted to ask if anyone had experience of doing this in the past?

Thanks.

Helping parent understand defined benefit pensions and early retirement.

Apologies, I am aged 25 and trying to advise my single parent aged 59 in relation to her retirement questions.

She has various pensions but her main one is a defined benefit pension worth approximately 12k a year plus an 18k lump sum.

I've estimated her annual living costs and this 12k annual amount wouldn't see her to state pension and she would need another income to bridge the gap.

Am I correct in thinking that she could start taking her 12k defined benefit pension since she is passed 55 and continue working reduced hours at her current job/find an easier job to do and just not contribute to a pension?

Furthermore to the above question, what's stopping her from taking her defined benefit pension and continuing to work full time to boost her income? That way she suddenly has a big extra income source that would help her significantly.

That all seems too simple so what am I missing in my understanding so that I can inform my parent of the right choice?
