Thanks for the feedback, all.
I'll have a think about if I can do something about that. Apart from
having to modify the code, the main effort to making this type of data
useful is to do the comparison with OSM to find what is missing. The
post boxes have an obvious reference number physically written on them.
Pharmacies don't have an obvious unique code (I am referring to
surveying in OSM, rather than peeking in the database.). I found matches
by doing a XAPI query and then manually comparing the results. That
probably won't scale up to the national size database without other
people helping.
Currently, I can't just import the whole database into my script because
every pharmacy is sent every time the page is refreshed. This works for
small ish data sets. I could split the data into regions, or do some
fancy dynamic map stuff. Also, it would be harder to patrol so many
pages from abuse, unless I just remove the comment feature...

at least - presumably under the OGL.
