Anyone have any pseudocode (regexps would be even cooler) for UK fields? In particular I am interested in:

Address Line 1
Home Phone
Mobile Phone (do they have a special prefix?)
Post Code

I only know the ones for the USA.

I found the answer on Stack Overflow:

In the margin, it answers not only UK post codes, but UK phone numbers too. If you see a problem with the PHP source on this, please do let me know because I'm going to run with this.

Phone numbers in the UK (also mobile phones):

Postal codes in the UK (ZIP codes):

And addresses are as good as impossible to validate. Seriously.
