There's shop=chandler, and waterway=fuel.

Re: [Talk-GB] Soild fuel

[Paul Berry]

This is exactly how I've retagged a coal merchant's near me:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/276999136

I suppose it's not a shop, per se, but it is a building and a place of
business from which fuel is sold...

[Rob Nickerson]

Hi all,

OSM UK is now offering some small funding for OSM related projects - please
see below. Sorry if this is the second time you have seen this. I thought
there might be some people on this local list that are not on talk-gb.

Thank you,

Hi all,

We are pleased to announce the start of a (very) small micro-grant scheme
available to members of OSM UK who wish to help us meet our aims but need a
little bit of financial support.

I did discover that big customers for my local one are heritage
railways, obvious as there are several not far away. Severn Valley and
Llangollen being the big ones.

You can go there and buy domestic coal too, although the days of the
coal man that I remember are long gone.

Re: [Talk-GB] Soild fuel

[Nick Allen]

Hi,

The main usage that I'm aware of is to do with the waterways network in the
UK. Many narrowboats, and others,  have solid fuel stoves on board, and buy
from Chandler's or narrowboats that work the waterways supplying gas,
solid fuel and other consumables.

Mapping the mobile suppliers would be difficult, add they mover on after a
few days,  but the Chandler's,  and petrol stations that supply the boaters
could do with a consistent tagging scheme.

Re: [Talk-GB] Soild fuel

[SK53]

There's one  fairly
close to me (or at least their sign is still there, I've not recently
verified that they still exist). We used shop=coal (but see below), which
is not far off the more generic shop=fuel.

It's over 20 years ago since I bought coal. I ordered it and was delivered,
perhaps 1 cwt which lasted the winter. I think that's how most solid fuel
will be sold, so most are not really shops but coal merchants yards. I have
no idea how these should be tagged, but shop is probably not particularly
correct. Similar things will be true for suppliers of LPG or Oil for
heating systems in rural areas. In Spain people used to buy butane for
cooking (probably still do) largely through Butano SA which became a Repsol
subsidiary. I ought to know how this worked as a relative worked for them,
but don't. I suspect it's possible to get regular deliveries (just like the
old Corona  vans -
fizzy pop I hasten to add).

[Talk-GB] OSM Stickers

[Tony OSM]

Hi

I've been pointed to the 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Promotional_Material_Programme page.


Noticed one of their stickers contained a QR code.

Would it be possible to create stickers containing QR code for UK or 
locations such a AGM in Leeds?


Could a mechanism be provided to create a local sticker which contained 
a local QR - to be placed on local notice boards (we have a lot around 
here)?


If I get a positive response I'll research the subject to create a 
proposal looking at costs and benefits. If anyone has information please 
point me to it.


Cheers
