[Talk-GB] Anyone fancy a bit of mindless drudgery?

[SK53]

The name plates of Severn Trent infra are organised in such a way
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:Severn_trent-sewage_pumping_station.jpg>
that deciding what is truly the name is not straightforward. The tend to
have a descriptive term "Sewage Treatment Works", "Sewage Pumping Station"
in larger type above a location element: "Flaxton", "Wollaton Park Charnock
Avenue Playing FIelds"
in a smaller one. It might be worth having a convention as to how to treat
these, as I've not added name tags to a few

Incidentally, the operator:wikidata <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q503077>
tag in use
<https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/operator%3Awikidata=Q503077> seems
to refer to the Severn Trent holding company and not the actual "Severn
Trent Water" operating entity, which does not appear to have a wikidata
entry.
