[Talk-GB] un-named roads in UK

I can't speak specifically for the UK, but in general I would not
consider google of any use at all for determining if a road has a name
or not.

Wit for example https://www.google.ch/maps/@46.7958402,10.2534831,18z
Not a single of those "named-in-google" streets actually has a name.
