[Talk-GB] Fixing shop=yes, now it no longer renders on the default OSM map

[Jez Nicholson]

Thanks for the heads up.

I specifically use it when I know that a shop exists, and am due to survey
it to say what it is. So I guess it doesn't hurt if those aren't
rendered......but please, people in general, don't just delete them.
