There were a number of factual inaccuracies in this article prior to 24 July 2006. These included references to Robin Shaw and Pete Nelson being ex members of White Plains, who were not formed until 1969, two years after The Flower Pot Men were in the news. Also Tony Burrows, for all his charms, does not hold the 'world record' for singing on more chart hits than anyone else. Even allowing for uncredited backing vocal work, he has appeared on no more than 30 / 40 hits. For comparison, Cliff Richard has appeared on more than 100 !

Shouldn't this article title be: "The Flower Pot Men (band)" as opposed to "Flower Pot Men"?

[edit] Ivy League
The Ivy League needs an entry of its own. It had four UK Top 50 hits as opposed to the Flowerpot Men's one. It's also not terribly helpful having wiki links within this article to The Ivy League, when those links simply come straight back, via a re-direct, to the Flowerpot Men.Grimhim (talk) 22:46, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
- Agree, and now done - see The Ivy League. Derek R Bullamore (talk) 20:57, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Birthplace disambiguation
In the The Flower Pot Men (band)#Personnel section, the birth place of Robin Shaw is listed as Hayes, Middlesex. It is unclear to me which of the two possible locations this should be resolved to. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 00:25, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
- Resolved → Hayes, Hillingdon --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 00:39, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
