[edit] Expatriate Population

Would it be appropriate to include information indicating that Gerrards Cross has a substantial expatriate population because of its proximity to the American Community School of London in Uxbridge?Jeannedb 15:40, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Can you provide evidence that this is the case? -- Roleplayer 18:39, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

The only "evidence" I would have is from having lived there as an American Expat and because of my experiences there. I'm guessing that wouldn't be good enough. Jeannedb 14:09, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Not really no. Would there be anything from recent census returns that could illustrate this? -- Roleplayer 16:10, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Too bad, because it's true about Gerrards Cross having lots of Americans. I lived there in the early 80's. The base at nearby High Wycombe had a high school for military kids -- lots of yanks about the area. --Eileenparks 18:03, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

I too was an American expat working in Gerrards Cross in 1998-1999. The American company Mosaix (later became Lucent Technologies) had a building at the end of Packhorse Rd. This generated a number of Americans coming and going. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.255.51.107 (talk) 14:58, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

You need to provide reliable sources for this claim, certainly news to me and Daws Hill is about 12 miles away so surely would be more relevant to High Wycombe and the surrounding area. But verifiability is a policy here so we must stick to it. Thanks, SqueakBox 19:13, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
