Is the recent murder in the village centre relevant? SuzanneKn 12:11, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Is there a better phrase than "Upper Class" to describe Henley? It's not strictly true, as while the town is certainly "posh" by any reasonable standard, it's not quite as if everyone who lives there is an aristocrat of some kind (which is what the current wording suggests to me).

I agree it did grate with me too. I deleted it along with the word quiet. Perhaps someone has real data on its quietness and its socio-economic class. I'm still hung up on the issue about the murder. I don't think it should be included here as it doesn't define the town per se. I'm not sure about whether the police has any leds or not either. SuzanneKn 18:28, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Re: upper-classness - thanks! Agreed re: the murder - it sounds quite terrible, but I don't see that it really contributes - unless it's just a referenceable way of saying "but it's not all peaceful and idyllic"? Gpjt 00:20, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

I'll be bold and remove it pasting it here in case anyone else has a different view SuzanneKn 22:05, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

The community was shocked when local telecoms executive, Stephen Langford, was kicked to death outside the part-time local police station on Saturday 9 December. 2006^[1]

Makes sense. Cheers, Gpjt 22:42, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
