[Talk-GB] Overwhelming concentration of Source->source tag typo errors

[Dave F]

Given JOSM's reluctance to download reasonably sized areas, use the 
Overpass routine to do the filtering for you

Ensure JOSM is already open & Remote Control (in Preferences) is turned on.

nwr["Source"]({{bbox}});
(._;>;); out meta;

Then Export to JOSM.
