[Talk-GB] Yet more musical chairs updates.

[Tim Francois]

Welcome to the list, and a special welcome from me as I notice you're doing
quite a lot of work in Bristol - I recently wrote about the number of
'missing' roads in Bristol in OSM - have a look through the archives, and
then see
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Tiiiim#Bristol_-_Missing_Roads. PM
or email me if you have any questions about this or OSM in general....

For more information about all of the clever stuff behind the musical chairs
script, go to: http://humanleg.org.uk/code/oslmusicalchairs/
