Re: [Talk-GB] Tagging post towns and other addressing issues in the UK

Hi Andrzej, I feel a bit conflicted here. Having the choice of several tags does make things easier when adding complicated addresses, but for less experienced mappers it does also help if things are kept simple. For example, if better guidance regarding UK address mapping was added to the
