[talk-au] Mass fix-me's with very strange comments

[Ewen Hill]

Thanks Phil,
   I never knew you could use NWR for all elements so thank you for that
gem. I would probably agree to remove in bulk the at least 5216 fixme's
with a value = '20', '21' and '22' and keep the remaining couple of hundred
others he has raised or review these further.

Thanks Graeme and Phil for spotting and identifying this.
