One of the main annoyances that people tell me that they have with OSM
is that whenever they visit the site, the map shows them just the UK.

The surrounding area needs mapping too, and there should be excellent
walks nearby.
please correct me, I want to be wrong, I heard yesterday that by
projecting any data into OSGB, the OS has copyright / dominion over
it, since they own that coordinate system.
