David Bedford took 118 118 to court because he claimed that there adverts were based on his image. In a court of law 118 118 said that thier adverts where based on Steve Prefontaine see bbc http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3166092.stm so I think its best that the information about Grenville Tuck is left out until he takes 118 118 to court and wins the case.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.173.86.208 (talk) 09:34, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

message: @EAG54: Greetings, and thanks for your recent edit. I used to live at Coombe Neville, so this is a topic near and dear to my heart. Your edit brings up an issue that has long puzzled me. Do you have a citation to a reliable source to support your statement about Galsworthy's family living at Coombe Croft? I ask because the notable Residents Section says Galsworthy "was born in a house on Kingston Hill called Parkfield" with a citation to support it. Two different houses, or one and the same? To avoid reader confusion, I think we should combine the two statements to clarify whatever the facts may be. Some of the large properties in Coombe went by differing names over the years, so this could get complicated. Regards, BuzzWeiser196 (talk) 15:26, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello, I am new to editing on Wikipedia so am delighted to see someone picked up my addition about Parkfield.  JG was born at Parkfield (on the left of the main Kingston Hill road going towards Kingston Vale). His father later bought property on the Coombe estate side of the Hill which the family lived in for varying periods and he built new homes which they lived in  then sold to wealthy business men and bankers. He built houses, lived in them  and then sold them on. The best book to explain all this is "A Fair and High Locality" by Panizzo and Lown pages 29-30. It is complicated as you say as the house names changed over time too. Parkfield was a temporary residence after moving from London. The family's first home was Coombe Warren, they renamed it  Coombe Leigh and lived there 1875-8 ad 1881-86. To quote from the book "in between they lived at their 3rd house Coombe Croft, now Rokeby School". Being new to editing it seemed over complicating to put all this detail in!

replies: text: Thanks so much for the revised text. Now that I think about it, I actually have a copy of that book somewhere! If you haven't done so already, check out the old Ordnance Survey maps. They're remarkably detailed. You can view them on the internet. Regards, BuzzWeiser196 (talk) 12:07, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
