[Talk-GB] Western Power Distribution

[Dave F]

Are you suggesting the tag was originally added to 6000 power poles by 
contributors performing on the ground surveys & not armchair mapping?

No matter what the signage says the operator for the 10,500 power tags & 
16000 wiki tags is National Grid.
It just means they'll be operating the division with out of date signage.

I see no reason why these shouldn't be updated en masse.
