[Talk-GB] NatWest / RBS Branch closures

[SK53]

I created a dynamic umap
<http://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/map/lloyds-tsb_26056#9/51.3778/-0.5466>
(following RobJN's instructions) for this, based on an idea of Ed
Loach.Plenty left in London (including on Oxford St) & in the West Midlands.

And yes this is a generic issue, which is why the latest round of banking
closures is as good a reason as any to raise it again.
