Hi, "Horses for courses" is certainly correct - but let me comment: please don't rely on website=* as a way for people to get hold of further info. Even if the establishment continues to exist, many small places have websites that vanish, or are stolen, or are full of incorrect info. I've discovered this in my OSM work, finding that many faithfully-added website=* had to be removed mere months later when the websites vanished :(
(Also, of course the info isn't available in a structured form if it's spread over a bag of websites, so it's not available for query filters etc) The info I'd love to have is address (especially housenumber and postcode) and opening_hours Best Dan 2016-10-04 16:05 GMT+01:00 Dave F <[email protected]>: > Horses for courses.
