[edit] Redirecting Davenies

I don't disagree at all with redirecting Davenies, but am curious as to why? SqueakBox 19:15, May 27, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Distance from London

I think there is some confusion about the town's exact distance from London. Recently the article was edited by user:SYCS Alliance from about 30 miles to about 25 miles, then another user, user:Skanking removed the 'about' as if it was an exact number, as the road signs say so. I have now edited it to now read around 25 miles, as the figure is hardly exact. For example:

Charing Cross - Beaconsfield Old Town Roundabout (straight line) is 22.95 miles or 36.93 KM
Charing Cross - Beaconsfield Railway Station (straight line) is 23.43 miles or 37.71 KM
Charing Cross - Beaconsfield Old Town Roundabout (by road) is 24.86 miles or 40.00 KM - Feebtlas 13:32, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

I meant miles by road which isnt necessarily the same thing at all. Shouldnt it say almost? Ras Billy I 23:14, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Almost sounds good, go for it. - Feebtlas 15:52, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
