[OSM-talk] Map Co-ordinates for towns, etc in UK

[phil at trigpoint.me.uk]

There is no grid system for UK towns, however where the main post office is or was is a reasonable approach to positioning the town centre.

In terms of villages the church is usually the best.

I don't know if any UK towns use an addressing grid. Locally, when the 
grid zero point lies within the downtown area, I've used this (e.g. the 
intersection of Orange and Central in Orlando).
