Thank you all.

Some work, but we are working to abstract the processes to make it all easier.
Of course the closer the data aligns with the way the OS maps the UK, and the data is structured, the easier.

Yes, a lot of data is E&W, and even mapping gets difficult as you cross the Irish see.
But it is data from data.gov.uk, so I thought UK was sensible.
We are aware of it, and are not deliberately excluding Scotland, even after Salmond's successes :-)
By the way, my native Kingdom of Northumbria is north of Hadrian's Wall, but likely to stay in England for the foreseeable future.
