I feel like I'm debating a "point of order" in a student union ( :-)
), but the encampment^Wstreet which Steve8 and I didn't want to map
was this one, a short distance away:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/27693507

Also, if you check on the wiki, the locals=angsty is defined as
implying the tag mapper=slightly_lazy and is often used on hot
afternoons that bring out the worst in British council estate
congregation behaviour. The tag doesn't apply during rain or winter
conditions, but applies doubly shortly after football matches...

Cheers,
