Public toilets, church halls and pubs with rapidly changing names will 
become a little easier to identify under the latest attempt to create a 
standard database of addresses. The Ordnance Survey has announced plans 
to add millions of new items to its database of 27m properties around 
Britain to make it more useful for emergency crews and local authorities.
