The Government has been roundly ridiculed for being forced to scrap its tier postcode checker tool which crashed just minutes after going live. Britons were left frustrated by the issue, posting a series of memes - with one saying: 'Can't catch Covid if you're at home constantly refreshing a postcode checker.' Writing about the postcode checker crashing, Paul Brand tweeted: 'Government website is definitely having a mare. And Geri Scott said: 'Government's postcode tier finder seems to have already crashed, so that's a good start.' Once working, the postcode checker showed London and Liverpool had avoided tier three after a fall in infections, as well as lower hospital admission rates.
