[edit] Lichfield Cricket Club reference

Is it just me, or does the reference to Lichfield Cricket Club forming part of the Burton and District Cricket league seem a little bit odd? If the notable club were actually in Burton I could undrestand it, but as Lichfied is a city and a significant entity in its own right, perhaps this reference should be removed? 212.137.45.109 00:38, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Postal Codes

Burton is covered partly by DE15 also - my parents old postcode @ 49 Tower Road was DE15 0NH. :) SubWolf 19:28, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] West Midlands

"However there is much confusion as to whether Burton is based in the West Midlands or the East Midlands, due to it being very close to the borders", states the article. Is there any confustion? All maps clearly show the whole of Staffordshire as being within the administrative West Midlands Region. Just being close to the border doesn't alter the fact of the matter.
