[Talk-GB] Road density in Naptan pay scale areas

It occurred to me that the Pay scale areas that arrived with the OSM Naptan import should be fairly thickly populated areas, so those with a relatively low road density would highlight places where there were roads missing from the map, and hence help to prioritise attention on plugging the gaps.

Thanks to Jonathan too. I can certainly update this occasionally if that would be useful. As it stands, comparisons between different areas are influenced too much by how widely the area is drawn, so Edinburgh for example (which in reality is very thoroughly mapped) looks as though it is

[Talk-GB] Social Clubs

Hi, There are a lot of working mens clubs, social clubs, sports clubs etc. in my area, and I am wondering how to tag them. I initially tagged them as pubs because they are similar navigational aids, but I have started to produce 'pub guide' maps from OSM data with pubs highlighted, and of course
