That's rather nice!

Mrs F points out, however, that the photo in slide 32 ("22 Pine  
Street, Swindon") is almost certainly not in Swindon, and indeed  
there is no Pine Street in Swindon. So I'd be very wary of taking the  
slide's suggestion to route ambulances using OS data. Much more  
reliable to use OSM. ;)
