You assume wrongly. Well sort of - you have a right to inspect it but
that doesn't mean you have a right to copy things from it.
The main problem is that
OK. Thanks for the correction. I guess after that hullabaloo down South
settles down, the thing to do is to get my local friendly MP to table a
question on this and see where that leads. you'd hope it'd be a fairly
open door, as it should not need the underlying mapping released and

Why have the OS done wrong in their prj file?. The test ogr2ogr I performed
using the OS prj files were only slightly off when compared to the prj files
you provided, and I didnt realise there was a problem until you provided the
a new prj file.
Now that Chris has provided us with

difference seems to vary across the country. Close to my home is was
