Dave,
I suggest you spend some time reading my blog
<http://sk53-osm.blogspot.com> posts or watch my talks at SotM
<http://lanyrd.com/2013/sotm/scphcw/> and SotMBaltics
<http://vimeo.com/72536464>, which fully explain why this is by far
away most useful in an OSM context as a source of addresses.
The Food *Hygiene* Rating is most relevant & only accurate for hygiene
rating. By your own admission addresses, postcodes & locations are
inaccurate.
My original post was about linking back to a database for the accurate
data. You've gone off on a tangent to describe the complete opposite
(importing inaccuracies). It's disappointing you couldn't have started
your own post.
Also I don't know why you need to say "How can that happen?"
http://food.gov.uk/multimedia/hygiene-rating-schemes/rating-schemes-faqs-en/fhrs/
From the above webpage:
"The scheme helps you choose where to eat out or shop for food by giving
you information about the hygiene standards in restaurants, pubs, cafés,
takeaways, hotels and other places you eat, as well as supermarkets and
other food shops."
And "how hygienically the food is handled -- how it is prepared, cooked,
re-heated, cooled and stored"
How can this be the case if it's assessed, as you claim, prior to it
being open to the public?
A look at a random LA website (Rotherham) finds an application form
<http://www.rotherham.gov.uk/downloads/file/7488/food_premises_registration/390>
with the following statement:
On the basis of the activities carried out, certain food business
establishments are required to be *approved* rather than *registered*.
If you are unsure whether any aspect of your food operations would
require your establishment to be *approved*, please contact Rotherham
Metropolitan Borough Council for guidance.
So it's certainly true for some establishments.
Where does it say anything about *approval* being given before opening?
