[edit] Military Prison

Why would it have been transferred for US Military use in 1939 when it the USA did not enter the war until 1941?

[edit] Tescos

The tescos section is currently the subject of a minor edit war. As an outsider to that dispute, I offer the view that it is too long for the subject importance - the 2nd para in particular is entirely non-encyclopaedic. I move to remove altogether, and certainly to prune to half-length. Linuxlad 22:37, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Poorly written does not equate to 'non-encyclopedic'. The information provided certanly is of intrest, but could do with rewriting, and having some cites. As could the rest of the article. --Barberio 22:43, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm willing to re-write that entire section, shorten it and ensure it contains facts rather than opinions. I was leery about completely re-writing the first para to remove the factual errors and inaccuracies so as to avoid arguments. I considered that a balance to the negative comments was warranted.

It definitely seems like a point of view paragraph "They seemed to have missed the point..." etc. Awiseman 15:56, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Interesting too, that it's very much a rerun (with the tree felling argument at its core) of the argument, again with Tesco, in Stroud in 1990. Linuxlad 20:41, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
