What are you planning to do with the data?
Right now? Not a lot. With enough data, it would enable people to do things like list all the FOOs within N distance of place M, given the addresses of M and the FOOs.
How are you going to provethat you didn't nick it from streetmap?
Streetmap are as welcome to look at the source code as you are. I've checked the code for Geography::NationalGrid too, to make sure that's not doing anything naughty.
The real reason I did this is because people talked about it and there was some vague muttering about registering a domain, but no-one DID anything. I thought "ooh, that might be useful", so did it.

sometime coder, and an easily amused primate with a penchant
for those that are pretty, colorful, and make nice noises.
