[Talk-GB] Offset problem

[Philip Barnes]

 Bear in mind that when you do make changes to OSM It can take up to 2 days to make its way into OSRM.

I too am baffled by how OSRM deals with place searches. Searching for Shrewsbury it first goes to Massachusetts, also tagged as a town. 
Also not sure what the significance of 4 way, 2 way and 1 way finger posts is.

At the risk of repeating myself ;)
The problem I'm seeing now I investigate further is not so much the 'county', 
but rather the missing 'city' and/or 'place' references.


Dumbleton, Evesham is correct ... it's 9km
Dumbleton, Tewkesbury is wrong ... it's 15km


And Smallbrook Road, Wychavon just does not make any sense at all :( Yet move 
over the boarder a few hundred meters and I get Field Lane, Willersey which IS 
correct.


All I'm trying to do here is get Nominatim and OSRM reporting the correct 
details ... but I've not found any 'rules' yet to get these reported correctly?
