Well,

I adapted my code to spit the data into areas and to handle the whole of 
the UK. I noticed that about 90% of the entries claim to be within 1m of 
the delivery address. From a few tests, it seems to be true. I can see 
the marker in google street view exactly where it should be. We probably 
need to use OSTN02 to get an accurate lat,lon. I'd say this data set 
might be ripe for an import into OSM... The remaining 10% that are 
inaccurate the community can survey on the ground.
