This could cause problems in Birmingham, Glasgow and Leeds, although these areas don’t seem to have many FHRS IDs matched anyway. See <https://github.com/gregrs-uk/python-fhrs-osm/issues/22> for updates in due course.

I not at all sure that this is related but I have found that I can't
match certain establishments with the fhrs search tool or find them in
their xml file, yet your comparison tools is finding them.

An example is

<wpt lat="50.4584278" lon="-4.4657903">
    <name>Hyvue House</name>
</wpt>

which is a Bed & breafast in Liskeard Cornwall. The address is Coldstyle
Road, but searching the fhrs data for the name with or without the
street name returns no results. Perhaps I misunderstand 
osm-unmatched-no-postcode-379.gpx ? Am I wrong in assuming this only
includes places with an FHRS rating?
