Really not, and doesn't have the comedy ring of being his parents basement. Can't find it, I guess its somewhere in Buxton?

Are they appropriate to be present in OSM? I think not They are completely inappropriate for OSM, and should be removed immediately. I requested a re-render of the tile and Ivania is gone now; but the last render was from 04 May which means that it has been up there for at least 6 days until someone brought it up. Something to keep in mind for automatic vandalism detectors; anything rendered on small zooms is a more attractive target for playful contributors.
