Ok. So that's nowhere on the obvious clicky path from the data.gov.uk
website. FYN clickitiness is not so good in the UI at all actually, it
took me a while to find out which dataset a particular entry belonged
to, and only then by examining some of the JavaScript.

Somehow this doesn't seem strong enough. And there appears to be
missing data which obviously cannot be "corrected" by the public but
could perhaps be "made up" which might serve just as well ;)
