[Talk-GB] City of Bath x2

[Dave F]

Bath appears to be a bit of an anomaly. It's one of the few UK's cities 
whose boundary is clearly defined being surrounded by admin=10 
boundaries, yet isn't one itself. It's more of a subset of Bath & North 
East Somerset local authority.

The city boundary formed by those other boundaries is used by B&NES, not 
only for the WHS, but also for data production such as population, 
welfare, & transport etc. There are times when money is allocated as X 
amount to be spent in the city, Y in the rest of B&NES.

It's also an enclaved parliamentary constituency, although not mapped as 
one in OSM.

If there's a better tag to describe it, I'd be happy to change it.
