[Talk-GB] Bitcoin business listings

[Jonathan]

Just looked at the bitcoin map for near me and noticed:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2541566146

Again, someone just listing their business as a node, no physical 
presence indicated on the map though.  He's just trying to get his 
website linked from OSM!
