[Talk-GB] Quarterly Project 2020Q1

[Chris Hodges]

I think Phil's right.

I'd hoped to use refill to find open/public water points - my water 
board promote those and the refill app together.  I deleted it almost 
immediately as apart from being rather annoying the markers for cafes so 
dominate the app it's impossible to find the others.

I still want to see sources of drinking water being mapped, but I don't 
think refill is a good source of survey hints even in normal times
