OK ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brantano_Footwear This explains where Brantano Footwear came from and also why the Footwear element may be a little woolly in the UK today. It is a registered name http://coalville.cylex-uk.co.uk/company/brantano--footwear--ltd-15742171.html Then you get locations like http://www.yell.com/biz/brantano-footwear-ltd-poole-7216924/ and many other shops are listed with the full name so even they don't know the exact situation :) The 'name' is 'Brantano Footwear' unless there IS something different on the signage, and the 'operator' is 'Brantano (UK) Ltd'. I'd avoid using 'brand' since even the web site makes a big thing of the brands that they supply, and Brantano is just one of many brands. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
