This may entertain you...
This email reminded me that I'd meant to check out one or two more
mismatches round here, so went out this morning to finish the ones I
hadn't got round to (mostly apostrophe issues).
I completely agree with the consensus that we should be tagging the name
which appears on the ground, not some "official" name, but sometimes the
people putting up signs don't help :)
One road has signs saying
ST. BEDE'S GARDENS (full stop and apostrophe)
ST. BEDES GARDENS (just the full stop)
on opposite sides of the road, about 10 yards apart. Just down the road
is another sign for ST BEDES CRESCENT which notes...
Leading to ST BEDES GARDENS (neither full stop nor apostrophe)
FWIW, the previous editor had used "St Bedes Gardens", which seemed not
unreasonable given the range of possibilities, so I left it like that
and just added a not:name tag to shut the validator up.
