[Talk-GB] Eat out to help out data

[Kai Michael Poppe - OSM]

Hey Rob,

if they made up their mind about the license (https://github.com/hmrc/eat-out-to-help-out-establishments/issues/3 - Apache 2.0 is software, not data) the ~100 entries with wrong postcode data (https://github.com/hmrc/eat-out-to-help-out-establishments/issues/18) out of 62k entries would be ok.

But yeah, it would be great to have some very recent establishment data.

Grouping the Postcodes, there are
  38,563 unique postcodes (62.1 % of entries)
   6,326 pcs occur twice  (20.1 %)
   1,800 pcs occur thrice  (8.7 %)
     611 four times        (3.9 %)
     214 five times        (1.7 %)
...
checking those data against the FHRS-OpenData would be relatively easy and very quick to implement and would allow for 96.5% of the entries to be checked. Once one has the FHRS data finding an appropriate OSM object becomes easier.

Someone™ would have to do the coding and once licensing and usage are clear, the data could be used :-)
