It's your decision entirely of course but I utterly fail to understand 
why you use 2-year-old data and batter all available APIs with tons of 
requests when you can easily get CURRENT data for ALL OF THE UK from 
downloads.cloudmade.com or download.geofabrik.de, both linked from the 
planet page that has been pointed out to you.
