Just read through a short discussion about differences in street names
in OSM and 'OS Locator', and problems caused by differences in names given
The classic problem is where the road street sign says something like
'Dukes Drive' but OS locator states Duke's Drive.

Note the boundary layer tab in the top-right.
I was only aware of http://os.openstreetmap.org/

Hello.
I notice that a number of motorway junctions near me have been tagged
with rather large names.
For example, the name tag for M4 J16, normally referred to locally as
Swindon West is:
A3102 Swindon West, Wootton Bassett, RAF Lyneham, Calne
Should this be simplified in some way?
This is a more fundamental problem than which source is the correct one --
names aren't properly defined to begin with.
The source for most of these names is simply what locals referred to things
as 100 years ago, and what managed to stick when some bloke on a horse with
a clipboard asked them.

Those little mortar-board icons that appear for schools are fun.
I wonder if they could be bulk-imported into OSM as amenity=school source=OS?
I recall an intriguing case from one of the very first mapping parties in
Rutland.
The mapping party was held at Oakam Museum in Catmos Street. It's always
been called Catmos Street. It's referred to as Catmos Street in a Francis
Frith photo from the 1950s and it was still called Catmos Street
