[Talk-GB] Farmfoods clean up

[SK53]

As the original author of "Retail Chains...", I'm not sure that there was
much usage of shop=frozen_food when I compiled it. However there seems
better acceptance of the tag now & I presume its being applied to Iceland
(and Heron?) too. People, often in poorer areas, do use such places for
weekly shops (I should ask my niece, she worked in Farmfoods during her gap
year).

I suspect the page would be better split across several pages. Ideally the
numbers could come from a taginfo query, but this would probably need a
special template & may be too complex because if name variants. The
disadvantage of automatically updating the numbers is that has resulted in
it being harder to have detailed narrative as well. If any one has  ideas
to enable both together do chime in.
