For example, see e.g. the first rows here:
http://www.geonames.org/search.html?q=irvine&country=GB
and here:
http://www.geonames.org/search.html?q=colchester&country=GB
Presence of "rvin and Kolchest"r in the alternatenames field of the GB.txt can easily cause non-importing of rows between Irvine (ID 2646032) and Colby (2652619).

Workaround for Python Pandas: disable quoting in pd.read_csv by setting quoting = 3.
