This is a great effort for a first article! Kukini 15:53, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Four Pubs?

There's the sports pub on the A206, the Lord Raglan, and the Corner Pin. What's the fourth - is there another one along the A206 that i've forgotten?

Depends what you count as Slade Green I guess - maybe the original article was including the Railway Tavern which has now closed, and I haven't changed this as I've been counting the pub on Boundary Street, but maybe that's more Erith than Slade Green, although in North End ward.

2 pubs & 2 clubs

There are only 2 pubs now in Slade Green. The Lord Raglan & The Corner Pin. The football club & railway club also sell alcohol but these are members only clubs. The pubs that one were along Northend road have now gone. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.40.253.230 (talk) 10:38, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

County

@86.173.103.127. I have deleted your entire sub section about a so-called local dispute about addresses. It is a barely disguised personal agenda not based on good references. You do give two citations, one, Hansard, is obviously good, but it isn't about Slade Green or about London-Kent, not even indirectly. The other one is not a good source. I have kept the Hansard citation because it is good in the right place, so I have put it in the Pembrokeshire article. It would also fit well in the Royal Mail article. Please try to get familiar with some basic WP principles and rules before putting in such poorly referenced personal opinion. If this issue of 'counties' was as simple as your input makes out, there would not be such contradiction and confusion throughout society and in hundreds of WP articles.

@Roger 8 Roger. Parliament is the place for discussing UK-wide issues, and Pembrokeshire is the example that Parliament used on one occasion. The evidence that MPs debated is equally applicable to all UK regions affected by border changes. It would be laudable to suggest that UK-decisions about criminal acts occurring in Pembrokeshire do not apply outside Pembrokeshire, so why are you making an equally absurd distinction about debates in Parliament? It is narrow and subjective selection criteria that perpetuates the contradictions and confusions in society. Please add clarifications where necessary instead of deleting on your own subjective whims.

I did not delete on a whim. Please refer to the links given, especially WP:POV. We may have a common aim in trying to sort out the mess. The correct place to discuss is on a talk page such as this, not by edit wars on the main article/s. There are WP consented ways to deal with counties on WP but the discussions that led to the consent are many years old and they have never been followed (IMO because they don't work). The result is a different account given on the many different county related WP articles. Just look around the LB of Bexley to find different versions on the different town WP sites. I am not so sure that Welsh and Scottish counties can be treated the same as English counties due to the different legislation that applies to them (further potential confusion perhaps). One basic point we might discuss is Slade Green's county position. You wrote that Slade Green left the admin county of Kent in 1965. I agree, but you also state that Slade Green is absolutely not in Kent - I disagree. SG has never left (the historic county of) Kent. All that has happened is responsibility for local govt has been moved to various bodies, currently LB of Bexley.Roger 8 Roger (talk) 12:21, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Every coordinate in Greater London was once in an (administrative/ceremonial/geographic) English county . Greenwich was part of Kent until 1889, so historians studying 1700s England must perceive Greenwich as being in Kent. Slade Green was in Kent until 1965, and historians focussed on 1800s England must perceive Slade Green as being in Kent. From that historical perspective I absolutely agree that Greenwich, Slade Green, and every hamlet in between must be seen as being in Kent. You would be hard pressed to find anyone that considers Greenwich to currently be in Kent. I apply the same logic to Slade Green. Why is that contentious? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.173.103.127 (talk) 21:32, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
