    “This misleading information is nothing more than estate agent's spiel to sell houses.”

    “So how long have the Stanleys been in Stonehouse? They have their own identities - and many in each village feel separate from the other - and their own shopping, churches and activities not mentioned. So what's the point of an article that includes two other localities but omits Eastington and even lists a pub that was not even the Brewers Arms a bit before it closed when it was known as Whacker's Place, now a nursery.”

    “How old is this article? The Brewers Arms closed years ago, it's a Nursery now I believe. Very lazy TiG!”
