The Wiki says,
"Sometimes several post boxes are standing together and can most often be

Hi @Ed,

NCN 51 comes near me through Milton Keynes, so I have made some adjustments to

I think that I understand the issue. A solution may be to delete individual

I am happy to spend a while trying this, but it is probably best if only one of

As Boots' stores don't ALL have a pharmacy counter, IMHO they should be tagged
as "shop=chemist". Those that DO have a pharmacy (dispensing prescriptions)
should be additionally tagged, either with "pharmacy=yes", or with a separate

Sorry, but, to me at least, a "chicane" involves a (double) bend.
