More to the point, the Crown copyright stuff was not even related to the subject  (High Sheriff) - so I have removed it in cleaning up the page. Andreww 01:42, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

message: This is the only article for English sheriffs & what little information it has is I think misleading for them in historical terms.  Frankly these are more likely to be of interest than the current ceremonial role.

I disagree concerning the current role of High Sheriffs.  They do a good job and often appear in the columns of local newspapers. WP is a place where people might well look first to find out a bit more than the journalist reported. === Vernon White (talk) 10:19, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Historical Role

message: There is a fairly complete list of HS Offices at List of Shrievalties This article links to List of High Sheriffs of the United Kingdom , which is incomplete and contains information that becomes out-of-date for each year for each office. On its talk page, someone comments that the Title should not say "United Kingdom". ===Vernon White (talk) 09:34, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
