A word of thanks for catching this egregious error - wrong spelling, wrong date - which has spread from Wikipedia across the internet like a virus - would not go amiss. Rupertlt (talk) 16:13, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

Guildford

Sammy Davis was my neighbour in 1969 at Sutton Court, Guildford. He and his much younger wife lived in the same flats. I didn’t know he was famous. He was a scrawny old guy with food stains on his tie. She was a total eccentric who smoked brown cigarettes and wore sandals in winter. Dawn Jerny (talk) 15:38, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
