[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)

[edit] Dick Turpin

Can I have a strong reference please that suggests Turpin actually lived in Beaconsfield? As the old saying goes, if Dick Turpin stayed in all the places he was renowned to have stayed in, he would lived to 150 and only slept in hotels... -- Roleplayer (talk) 21:00, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
