Hi, it is great to see this work on coverage. Thanks for putting this together! It is always nice to see how much has already been achieved and how much still needs to be done.
There was a similar mail on talk-de today by Florian Lohoff (http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-de/2009-July/050800.html) on the coverage of OSM in NRW, one of the states in Germany, which might be of interest to this discussion. He has produced a nice map of coverage for the state (http://osm.gt.owl.de/Strassenliste/map-nordrhein-westfalen.html) and you can click on the individual counties to get more information on each. It takes a slightly different approach than the one Peter has used. Rather than comparing road km to official lists, it uses lists of names of roads in each county. I think they used road name lists coming from voter registers, and perhaps there are similar ways to get at such lists for the UK? Each method of cause has its advantages and disadvantages and it might be interesting to see how much these differ.
