I thought I might :)  I just wrongly assumed that all the search
results when using Google's own interface would be available to the
API.

Good option and I like that approach, but sadly it doesn't seem to be
a very comprehensive list as there is nothing anywhere near Bristol
for example, yet the Google local search comes up with quite a few
(e.g. Ashton Court).

My only other option is to get my script to focus on small areas at a
time and then move to the next area.  But since it becomes apparent
that what I'm trying to do breaches their terms and condiitons I might
have to change approach anyway!

Thanks Dan.
