[Talk-GB] Ordnance Survey National Grid maps of Edinburgh

[Donald Noble]

Thanks Rob,

The alignment matches well with both bing and what is already on OSM
(although this may largely be derived).

Also pleasing to note that the addresses I have surveyed match those
on the OS map - don't suppose they change all that often.

Cheers, Donald
