[Talk-GB] Subject: Re: Thomas Cook shops

[Dave F]

Re: shop=vacant. This is a popular alternative tag, but removes the 
previous usage from the latest version. I found knowing this helpful 
when a new shop replaces it - "There's a new café opening in what used 
to be the flower shop"
How is the name tag dealt with if disused: isn't used?

Tony.
If the shops are closed tagging them as such improves the quality of the 
database. If they are bought out lock, stock & barrel a mass swap over 
edit can be easily executed.

Cheers
