[Talk-GB] Offset problem

[Philip Barnes]

According to wikipedia Dumbleton is in Gloucestershire, and the location of the border in OSM confirms this.
The postal address/postcode means nothing, its just where the post comes from. 
Always annoys me when I hear Donington Park described as The Derbyshire circuit.

I've added addr:place tags along with the postcode to all the roads in the area, 
THEN I found that 'Dumbleton' place tag was flagged as is_in Gloucestershire 
which does not help :)


Interesting ... I know Dumbleton as in Worcestershire, but the Gloucestershire 
border IS north of the vilage. Searches give both Worcs and Gloucs county 
references and the POSTAL address IS Dumbleton, EVESHAM and it's a WR postcode, 
but Google says Worcs and Bing say Glocs :) I just seem to have picked a 
'difficult one'
