Hello dear GB neighbours (I'm from the other side of the channel, the froggy
side).

In order to simplify data reuse, I've started adding ISO3166-2 codes to
admin boundaries in many countries.
It as been quite easy on many, but GB is a complex case as there is a mix of
different admin_level (4/6/8) matching ISO3166-2.

Here is the full list available on wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2:GB

As you can see, in addition to England/Scotland/Wales and Northern Ireland,
there are 200+ ISO codes for subdivisions currently in admin_level 6 or 8
(like Manchester).

You can also have an overview of admin_level coverage using:

Is anyone interested in adding the ISO codes to the corresponding
admin_level relations ?
