I'm pretty much with Nick on the not caring.
Personally I think the Admin Level system is unintuitive and hard to
understand. I'm not a fan of putting codes into tags. Yes I know
tagging is over there ===>
Having said that if the consensus is that this is the right way to go, I
have no objection to changing Edinburgh from a yes to a 4. I may even do
so later this evening.
Cheers
Chris
