[Talk-GB] Building that have been replaced

[Dave F]

I'm pretty sure we've had this conversion before, where I pointed out 
OSM is not a historical record. If gone in the real world,it should be 
removed from OSM. If you wish to store out date info, transfer it to 
Open History Map.

Seeing OSM is a global endeavour it's disappointing you keep repeat 
'Around here...' as if Nottingham is somehow different & special when 
compare with elsewhere.
