[Talk-GB] Rockall

[Andy Townsend]

In situations like this I'd invite the new mapper to discuss things more 
widely (which Colin has already done on 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/86624359 ) and then revert the 
changes pending any discussion here.

The new mapper is already aware of the changeset discussion (they've 
replied) so hopefully won't then just change it back.

Best Regards,

Andy
