Default combining text from 2 cells

Assuming you are using columns A and B, use the following formula in cell C1
to "concatenate" the two cells: =A1&" "&B1 (a space between the quotation
marks), then copy down as far as necessary. When done, Copy and Paste
Special Value everything in column C over the data in column C to remove
the formula. Then you can delete columns A and B.

hi just wondering if anyone can help- this is probably really simple,
but anyway:

ive got a list of postcodes, however, there in seperate cells, ie -

EX5 3HU
BD24 4HU
PL87 6HY
GU56 3RG

What i need to do is combine them so they are in the same cell (with a
1 space in between them so it looks like below:

EX5 3HU
BD24 4HU
PL87 6HY
GU56 3RG

Help would be very much appricated
