Suggested POI database changes

I've suggested some of these changes before, but never had a reply from one of the PGPSW team. I would appreciate a response from someone in the know?

1. Dixons/Currys Digital (Shopping - Consumer Electrics). Why do both of these POI categories exist? Dixons stores have now been rebranded Currys Digital. Are there still any original Dixons stores left? See http://www.dixons.co.uk/martprd/editorial/currysdigital. I suggest merging these two POI categories.

2. LivingWell Premier Health Clubs (Recreation). All clubs were sold and rebranded as Bannatynes Health Clubs. I should know, I'm a LivingWell member, and although I can still use my own gym, this rebranding has caused me all sorts of problems trying to use other clubs in the chain! I suggest renaming the existing POI category. I sent a suitable icon for Bannatynes in my email to POIs@pocketgpsworld.com on 9th April, and can re-send if necessary.

3. Homebase (Shopping - Other). Wouldn't it be more logical to file Homebase under DIY & Home, rather than Shopping - Other?

Some Dixons are still around re-branded as Dixons "Tax Free", there are 13 branches at selected UK Airports and the Channel Tunnel, see http://www.dixonstaxfree.co.uk/index.cfm?fuseaction=dixons.home.

Personally I don't think they are required as a POI.

Our POI Db Admin is on holiday at the moment, these changes will be implemented on his return.

Apols for the delay in updating the thread.
