[Openstreetmap] Maps that Lye

When doing GPS surveys of paths I've noticed that the truth on the ground 
diverges from OS maps. e.g.:

http://www.free-map.org.uk/index.php?e=485800&n=124900&mapview=11

Look at the two horizontal, sloping slightly downward, paths towards the 
top-left and closest to the top. They bend in a few places. The OS map shows 
them as dead-straight lines. Another easter egg?
