[Talk-GB] "an extraordinary quirk in the UK address system"

It's been done: http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/51951288.

Unfortunately reading the comments I noticed a remark about a No. 441A and
I realised my interpolation must have had an error. On checking I found
that I'd placed the known address one house over. This means that
continuing the interpolation means that the last house on the Bolton side
is 445. As the 441/441a is from an OS Map of uncertain date I felt I
couldnt use that as input.

My suspicion is that the numbering coincidence was deliberate. There are
long gaps on the Bolton side which would surely have allowed them to chose
any particular number range.
