Happy 10th Birthday OSM!<br>
<br>
For a 10th birthday present - I thought I'd reprise SK53's 10 fascinating facts posting from April 2013[1],<br>
to see where OSM GB is at, at of the beginning of August 2014 compared to Ordnance Survey GB(OSGB)[2] (values not updated).<br>
<br>
So here's the comparison with the changes in OSM in that period.<br>

[3] Some SQL query code may be needed to perform this one - for OSGB given the high number of homes, presumably they are considering any football pitch (not just league football grounds). I still haven't gotten around to doing any DB things...<br>
