[edit] Proposed Merge

As pointed out in the talk page of Talk:The Fat Duck, both articles have substantially the same content, indeed the main interest in The Fat Duck is the unique techniques employed by Heston Blumenthal. There’s not really enough information to justify two articles. --Nige 21:34, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

I would suggest keeping the article on the person. His contribution to the world will last longer than the restaurant, I imagine, and the restaurant would be nothing without the man.--Macca7174 09:22, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Biography

Note that the bio page on [1] he claims to have been born in West London and only moving to Bucks later in life - though here he is referred to as being born in High Wycombe. --Pstansbu 22:19, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pronunciation

Needs a pronunciation guide for his name. Even the announcers introing his programme get it wrong! - 88.111.177.35 (talk) 14:49, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
