ford should do that OK.



We have an interesting language problem in OSM, where the Poms push forward 
pommie English, and the rest of the English speaking world may not use that 
word that way, and causeway which has two clear meanings to us and the Yanks, 
is a good example.
Ford isn't in common use in Oz, except in Ford vs Holden.



Something else I can't work out how to tag is a jetty, the thing that juts out 
into water and boats tie up to. But after 8 years of drought here, perhaps I 
needn't worry too much.
