message: Under 'Trivia' read about a second Summer Fields School.  I shall revert the Prince Rainier entry and use the Times obit as a ref and omit using Summer Fields School as a ref User:Brenont 03:53, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Looking again at the reference, it says St Leonards-on Sea, Summer Fields, and Stowe, suggesting that he went to some (unnamed) school in St Leonards and then to the Oxford Summerfields. I've amended it accordingly.--rossb (talk) 22:44, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I remember Summerfields School very well indeed. It was I believe part of the Oxford school of the same name. It was clsoed and the contents sold off in 1966: we were setting up home then and bought some of the bales of bedding on sale. I am not sure how long it had lasted, but the honours board in the school hall had many quite famous ex-scholars' names on it Peter Shearan (talk) 16:27, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Recent edits have introduced confusion about postcodes. St Leonards-on-Sea is not a postcode area. Morevoer the valid statement about the additional railway stations has been removed. I propose to revert. --rossb (talk) 19:13, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree to revert, some edits appear to have been made which cause unnecessary disorientation to users.Winchelsea (talk) 07:12, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

message: My Nov 25 insertion of a line break  </br>  to uncover buried words caused by overlapping image was soon reverted.  No doubt it wasn't the best solution but it achieved a necessary end.  Anyone out there want to tackle the size of the offending image or suggest how to put this right?--User:Brenont 22:25, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

replies: text:  I've begun a rewrite - starting with the intro para, which is obligatory. The second para ("history") does I'm well aware intrude on some of what is said later, but this all needs to be in chronological order: the Burton St Leonards bit must be woven into the first statements, not after the piece about Marine Court (100 years later) and the railway stations (20 years later). There is much more to be said before them! Peter Shearan (talk) 18:02, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

message: For gods sake ST LEONARDS IS PART OF HASTINGS AND A SUBURB IS USED FOR PLACES Like Eastbourne  which is of a similar size and so why cant it be used for here.
you are ruining these statements about this area and wont actually go and see without trying to make your own stupid ideas. FM (talk) 17:49, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Ignoring the rude outburst, I suggest you take a look at what Wikipedia says is a Suburb: "residential areas on the outskirts of a city or large town"! The term is becoming widespread in articles and is patently incorrect as far as St Leonards is concerned: it is a town in its own right; as is Hastings, but Hastings is also the name of a Local Government District too, with St L and Ore and Hollington all part of that District. And Eastbourne doesn't have a town within its boundaries: just those residential areas ... My "stupid ideas" as you so charmingly put it, are based on a Geography degree. It would help if you were have you own talk page, then we don't have this kind of altercation in public. Peter Shearan (talk) 07:57, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Well as a hastings resident I think it whole as one settlement since if you do go there, there is not any separation and you wont even notice.
also the signs welcoming you to Ore and Conquest on the A21 and the A259 all say welcome to Hastings (and st leonards, which is a nickname). lastly on all the tourist attractions it has as if it were one place and its all treated as Hastings.
Also the town and borough are the same thing, I mean loads of suburbs of current settlements were once individual.
Also how come your saying the exact opposite on the Hastings talk page? Blackwave...... (talk) 19:45, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

message: There is no mention of when the place name became St Leonards-on-Sea.  It would be interesting to include this.  Do we know for certain when this happened? Mikeo1938 (talk) 21:25, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
