On a separate note. Would you be able to do a comparison between place
names in NatGaz and in OSM. I think we will be surprised how many
places we are still missing from OSM. My guess is that OSM only
contains about 65% of the 50K places in that database. Here it is:

On that separate note, places may be "missing" from OSM because they
don't actually exist any more as separate entities. According to locals
the place where I've lived for many years is either one or two villages
depending on who you ask (OSM has it as two). The OS has about seven
hamlets, three of which are in the nptg "Localilities" file as distinct
localities in column 2, which I suspect predate the industrialisation of
the area.
Cheers,
Andy
