Talk:Stafford

Areas

Is the 'areas' section really necessary? It could be vastly improved, and i would be willing to do this (perhaps moulding it around the town council wards?), but i would like some other input from more experienced users before i set about the task. JamesDanielMartin 19:27, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi James, It is general to put an Areas page on a town page such as this. There is also a Stafford (borough) page about the Borough so as to keep the details apart. You might be interested in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject UK geography/How to write about settlements as a guide. Cheers, Regan123 23:31, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

I've changed the population figure to that of the Stafford Urban Area as defined by the ONS in the 2001 census. That figure is 63,681. Fingerpuppet 18:52, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

The change doesn't seem to have taken effect - the Stafford page actually shows TWO populations, neither of which is 63,681. The main text shows 124,531 and the side box shows 120,553. Of course, AKAboth of these are the population (at various times) of the borough, which is shown with yeta different figure (123,600) in the Stafford (Borough) entry. Let's have just one (presumably 124,531 is right) listed in the borough piece and 63,681 listed for Stafford town.

Hey, Fingerpuppet!, our population has been massaged upwards again. The figure shown is way over the odds for the town. Why do we have the entire area included?; many of the people included in the highest figure as Stafford residents are many miles from the town through open countryside, and would never think of themselves as Staffordians. Let's have the old 63,681 figure back.

Healthcare

The comment that Stafford is divided into multiple PCTs, each served by a GP is a drastic misunderstanding of the whole PCT system. I really wish people would bother doing the research.

Stafford is covered by the south staffs PCT[1] which consists of 98 practices! [Alex] —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.128.159.11 (talk) 16:49, 21 January 2007 (UTC).

Lilac Aki from Stafford

YO

My name is Lilac but I am known all over the country as Lilac Aki (and I am not going to say why).

I love spending time with the girls/boys in the Westway in Stafford. Its awesome and its well known for its brilliant 70's disco. I love music by The Jacksons and The Drifters. I look like the lead singer out of Hot Chocolate and the girls/boys go crazy when they play "Kung-fu fighting" because I go really nuts and start doing high-kicks and round-house moves to the beat of the song. I have been known to steal ties off men and wrap it round my head and start doing Karate chops to anyone who gets in my way. Hi-ahh. My bitch (Little Jimmy Krankie) can't get enough of me.

Fucking awesome. Yay.

P.S Aki Lovers

Golden.
