Talk:Redditch

message: I think to call the train service regular is humorous, I would favour a word such as 'occasional' or 'sporadic' to highlight it's infrequency and common cancellation.
:The train service is every half-hour and does run until 11pm-ish - whatever its problems, by the standards of our railways these days this is a comparatively frequent service for a town the size of Redditch.  Maybe "regular" is a bad choice of word!  But it is an economically significant service to the town, making it feasible to commute to central Birmingham by public transport.

replies: text: I've no idea whether Bridley Moor was 'academically successful' or not (though that isn't consistent with the image it had around the town).  Really I think this comment either should be removed, or needs to be reworded such that it can be objectively demonstrated, and supported by a citation.

text: I would agree that the poem makes more sense referring to Reddish, however it is transcribed here  as "Redditch".  Listening to it here on YouTube I'd say it's ambiguous.  Behind The Wall Of Sleep (talk) 10:11, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

message: Why on earth is Scouse Freddie Starr listed on here ?  Ok, so there may well be someone living in Matchborough with that name but the link takes you to the (In)famous impressionist/singer/comedian.  If it is a joke, it should be deleted. Cabinscooter (talk) 07:51, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Surprisingly perhaps it seems like she is, at least according to her official web site.  I've added a link to the page.  She's from Malvern though. Behind The Wall Of Sleep (talk) 18:57, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

text: I personally know where she (or at least her family) lives. However, I don't think I'll publish this potentially sensitive information on the web.--EvilFred (talk) 23:01, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

text: I wasn't for a minute suggesting that Jacqui Smith's private address be published but so many people make their fame and fortune in Redditch but then a Redditch address is not good enough for them and reside in places perceived as more 'up market' such as Alcester or Stratford.   Sorry to be cynical about this and I acknowledge the information from EvilFred Cabinscooter (talk) 07:33, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

text: Quoting TV.com "When he was three, Mayall and his parents moved to Redditch, Worcestershire, where he spent the rest of his childhood." Don't know how accurate that is, took it from a quick Google Search -- NRTurner (talk) 16:51, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Well I reckon if it's worth asking, it's worth citing.  I'd often doubted his Redditch connection but the TV.com link was enough to convince me, so I've added it to the article.  If anyone actually queries it, then we could look for a more robust source. Behind The Wall Of Sleep (talk) 11:14, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

text: Ah, now I've read the other article and now I see what you mean.  I've left a note on Talk:Rik Mayall, as there must be Mayall experts around who can resolve this for us.  King's School Worcester, though, is definitely in Worcester and not Droitwich or Redditch, and they apparently teach from age 2 up.Behind The Wall Of Sleep (talk) 12:53, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

text: I've formatted it now that you have added it, but we really need a source that verifies this. I wasn't able to find one myself. -- NRTurner (talk) 15:24, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
