[Talk-GB] Drinking Map of UK

[Adam Hoyle]

This project is perfect, so to chip in I've added The Chiltern Brewery north of Princes Risborough and also fixed the tags on Fuller's Griffin Brewery in Chiswick, both of which I know well. 

Looking forward to seeing them turn up on the map

Will the map pick up on pubs too? *cough* I know lots around here *cough*, so can add the operator tag if that'll help - should we specifically pick out pubs that aren't tied (as opposed to the tag just not being there), eg operator=independent (?)
