[edit] Kennet School

I have removed the following:

Another attraction is Kennet school which is one of the best public schools in Berkshire.

because

• without any cited sources, it is pov
• the unqualified use of public school is ambiguous; in US usage it means a state school (which is what Kennet is) but in UK usage it means a prestigous private school (which Kennet isn't).

[edit] Thatcham Snarler

I have remove the para on the "Thatcham Snarler". It said:

"Since around 1960 there has been sightings of what has become known as 'the Thatcham Snarler'. This is said to be a half-man, half-wolf creature that tears apart anyone stupid enough to get in it's path. Locals believe that the snarler can be tamed if you give it enough cider. it appartly it locally known by the name shaggy"

It all sounds very dubious, particularly the bit about tearing people apart, and I cannot find any references to it on the web. By all means restore it, but only if you can cite some reliable sources! Jll 13:11, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
