The Tewkesbury Mustard entry is way too long and contains far too much trivia - propose to heavily edit it. --Jjasi 07:20, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

As a former Tewkesbury resident and contributor of parts of the Tewkesbury entry, including the paragraph about the mustard, I would say that paragraph is perhaps a little bit long-winded now (is it you who has re-structured parts of the Tewkesbury article in the last day or so? Nicely done - it reads better now). As for the mustard, it was I who was able to buy some in Fortnum & Mason and also in Berlin, but maybe that's not really so remarkable - it's good enough to be available in many other places too (perhaps Macy's in New York stocks it), so that sentence can perhaps be binned.

- Maybe a page of its own for Tewks Mustard is best? Jjasi 20:29, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

- - Agreed.

[edit] Battle of

I have removed the line that claimed this was the final battle of the Wars Of The Roses, and inserted historic instead, The Last Battle of this War was a Smallish Skirmish known as the Battle of Stoke Field on 16th June 1487, YES after Bosworth on the 22nd August 1485.

[edit] Lord Robert Bird III

On the 29th Aug 195.188.195.178 edited the page and added in the first line that Tewkesbury is "the home town of Lord Robert Bird III,". Who is this person? If they are a real individual and they live in Tewky is it really a topic for the first line? If they are real they should they not be added to the Famous People section?
