leave the Head alone from Monkey
[edit] The Head
Again we have been deleted by Suzanne the self appointed custodian of Leatherhead history?
The history of the town has no chance unless of course we delete Suzzanne as spam - now there's a thought!
I have reinstated The Head
Thank you!

I deleted info on this exceptionally minor local pop group which had no references on it other than it's own myspace advert. There was no other information about them on google. SuzanneKn 21:20, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
I strongly object to deletions being made after little or no research being carried out - looking for The Head in google is not really what I would classify as extensive research (by the way we are in there if you look!) If you have not heard of us, my guess is you that you either were not born or raised in Leatherhead or are under thirty. The links to the MySpace page are not an advert (you obviously do not know anything about MySpace) The http://www.myspace.com/theheadfromleatherhead page actually gives you the information you are looking for! If you took the time to read the history of the band, you would see that The Head are 'significant 'and for a period of nearly three years, were the most well known band in the area. The single was a local hit and the band and many of their fans were and still are, supporters of Leatherhead Football Club.
As for your comments with regard to, exceptionally, insignificant and minor - I suggest you do your research more thoroughly in the future!
Thank you

[edit] LEATHERHEAD FC
I object most strongly to the assertion that LeatherheadFC have fallen into obscurity.If this supposed to be part of an encyclopedia,then I suggest you get your facts right!A full history of the club is available on the website www.leatherheadfc-net. Since being restructured before the start of the 2000 season by the supporters, the club has gone from strentgh to strength, and is looking forward to competing in the new restructured league in the 2004/5 season, after a sucsessful season in the Ryman League Division 1.

[edit] Clean-up required
The article is considerably behind many comparable articles (eg Guildford, Epsom, Dorking, Redhill). The content is currently heavily weighted towards the football club and there are several unqualified subjective comments (and even a retort to one of them within the article itself). Perhaps someone with knowledge of the town would expand the article with some more useful objective facts suitable for an encyclopedia! Halsteadk 23:18, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
- Article considerably improved since 6 January (old version: [1]). Comment above no longer relevant. Halsteadk 15:37, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Air Transport
Whether it is 'lucky' to be near two major international airports is a highly debatable claim, and is, in any event, oddly anthropomorphic language. Rather than edit to, say, 'Unfortunately, Leatherhead is rather close to two international airports...' I've stated the fact of the town's location relative to airports baldly. 81.187.211.188 18:41, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
- I've removed the info on Air and it's pasted below as really the airport are a distance away
[edit] Air
- Leatherhead is fairly close to two of London's major Airports.
[edit] Leisure activities
There was a long list of these which were mostly spam and actually not Leatherhead. I'm moved them to a list List of leisure activities in Leatherhead SuzanneKn 16:11, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
Not just the Head we're all spam ! - someone please advise her what spam is she obviously has no idea - we can't let this person determine what Leatherhead is - there may be nothing to do, but we still love the town and do not need her interference !! The Head
