Talk:Sherborne

This is only one of many places called Sherborne, eg there is one in Somerset. A Disambiguity page is suggested. Adresia 16:49, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

It would be helpful to have a phonetic transcription of the local pronunciation of the name too. /ʃɜːbɘn/? /ʃɛːbɘn/? Or something else... Alarichall 19:02, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Where are the street signs?

I counted a single street name in all of Sherbore the other day. Is this a record for an English town? Why wouldn't the town council make a point of letting tourists know what street they are on? Yes, the natives know what street they are on - but that's not the point of signs! 86.44.62.118 (talk) 12:30, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Not really anything to do with Wikipedia though. Perhaps you should ask the council? GedUK  12:39, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Citation

For the statement of "40.8% of the population is retired" i have found a single website, which gave the same figure. However i am not entirley sure what it is i am ment to do with this information, the source i found are as follows

• http://www.tripwolf.com/en/guide/show/239530/England/Sherborne

Im not even entirley sure whether this is any good. Thanks for the time; Prof,Mammal (talk) 00:55, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Hmm, no, that site uses wikipedia as its source. It says so at the top of the article; can't use a circular reference. There should be something from the stats office somewhere, I'll see what I can find. GedUK  07:56, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

I've updated it. Nowhere near 40% according to the 2001 census. May have been added by a random source, I can't be bothered to trawl the history for it. GedUK  08:52, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Prof,Mammal (talk) 00:17, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

No problem. GedUK  12:33, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
