[Talk-GB] Laura Ashley - looking for tagging consensus

[SK53]

Hi,

I actually went and scouted out one of my local stores
<https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/244747285> after the last post. It's
called "Laura Ashley Home" and does furniture, fabrics etc. I never checked
usage of shop=furnishings. In days gone by there were concessions selling
similar wares (probably more fabrics) in Homebase.

I would expect that high street shops major in clothes, retail park shops
either furniture or a mix of the two. If "Laura Ashley Home"  is a widely
used name then that will help.

I note that there are a couple of Laura Ashley branded hotels and some tea
rooms mentioned on the website
