A great many perceptions here! Why should an encyclopaedia peddle all this "common-man" talk? And who are the people who hold these perceptions? Surely we should be giving facts as they stand, and not try to argue against what the author of the article believes us to think? This kind of article is all too common...

The London Borough pages now widely vary in quality. Perhaps there should be some focus to bring them up to the standard of say, London Borough of Croydon? Some have been expanded and have pictures etc. while others say little more than what they replaced. Mrsteviec 10:48, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] What is all this twoddle about 'demographics' and who actually wrote this

This is the worst entry into the wikipedia library. After all, which person is to imply quite implicitly that the demographic is quite so horrific. I believe that this needs serious revamping as the tone of it is highly xenophobic and quite offensive (NB do not think i am a Politically correct loser, because i am not). I have been to Harrow and although there are some pretty run down areas, to insinuate that the 'ethnic minorities' and notably the Gurjurati population are responsible for diluting this ideal of 'white, elderly, middle class' person picking up litter as he passes with his walking stick is totally dumb-founded and absurd. I suggest that someone who knows one or two things about Harrow should write down the entry for demographic because from what is written it is clear that it was written by a bitter nostalgic former resident who had fallen out of love with it and is only writing about it anonomously for the purpose of getting his/her back.

The tone of this article does need copyediting. Mrsteviec 10:34, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
