[edit] Accent

Can you explain to me how a 'Walthamstow' accent is different from say a Leyton accent?

Can't put it in words; you have to have lived in London for a good while to be able to pick out the slight differences Martyn Smith 21:30, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blockbusters

Are you sure this man didn't appear on Blockbusters rather than Countdown? I seem to remember its being Bob Holness who asked him about it, rather than Richard Whiteley. Of course I was also adamant that Constant Hot Water had Marti Cane in it rather than Pat Phoenix.

[edit] Speedy deletion

I suspect that this was nominated for speedy deletion by an anonymous vandal, but just in case not, there's ample evidence for the notability of the Bevis Frond, even if it's not given in this article. Saloman/Frond is one of the most prolific and well-known British progressive rock artists ever. Frond albums are regularly reviewed in the independent and mainstream press. Some Googling (which unfortunately I don't have time to do right now) will doubtless turn up a wealth of reliable sources. On the success of his music, Saloman launched a record label, a progressive rock magazine, and long-running semi-annual international rock festival. —Psychonaut (talk) 23:03, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

I completely agree. I just happened by this page a few minutes ago, and a quick google search reveals writeups by All Music Guide, Trouser Press, and an NPR interview. Plus they have something like 20 albums out on various independent labels, not to mention an inclusion within Children of Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the Second Psychedelic Era, 1976-1995. I'll add some of this to the article when I have time in a couple of days. --Joelmills (talk) 23:12, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

But I don't think the anon is a vandal. --Joelmills (talk) 23:15, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

I have removed the speedy tag and inserted a comment that they have recorded many albums on various independent labels based on Joelmills comment above. If some one could work up a discography and add a few references it would help to keep the article from being nominated again. Dsmdgold (talk) 00:18, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

By the way, please note that anyone other than the article's creator may remove a speedy tag that is believed to have been placed in error. Dsmdgold (talk) 00:20, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

For some reason I misremembered that I had started this article. Sorry about that. —Psychonaut (talk) 18:53, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Nevermind - I didn't see the bit of the article talking about Nick's work with Mary Lou Lord
