I guess the problem is that quarter/suburb just isn't a natural-english

Since GBPTM allows to contribute new toilet entries, I asked on Twitter
how they could be added back to OpenStreetMap without creating

John,
With my old timer hat on, I'll start off by saying that back in the day I
argued for a group with a democratic mandate to be able to settle these
