Entry: Colchester, Essex, England - A1030438
Author: Sanx - U183345

I think this is about done. I did have a couple of people comment and I took their remarks onboard and updated it as much as I thought necessary.

It isn't complimentary ... but then it's hard to find nice things to say about Colchester.

Definitely not complimentry but hey, I can't think of anything nice to say about the town I live in (Yeovil), my home town on the other hand (Nottingham)....

Anyways nice work

One typo:
"The town's important grew in the late Tudor times with the growing trade in wool and weaving"

Should read

"The town's importance grew in the late Tudor times with the growing trade in wool and weaving"

Pongo

I like this Entry a lot... well done!

I remember a quick interview with Blur in their very early days (when they were still from Colchester and Damon hadn't decided to capitalise on his East London roots) and among the questions was something like Name 10 Great Things (or maybe the 10 Best Things) about Colchester. Their response? 10 pints of Abbot Ale...

If you like, you could put in a link to A737633 Blur - the Band, and maybe as you mention Essex University, you could turn that into a link to http://www.essex.ac.uk/?

But a sub-editor would be equally capable of doing those things...

Your Guide Entry has just been picked from Peer Review by one of our Scouts, and is now heading off into the Editorial Process, which ends with publication in the Edited Guide. We've therefore moved this Review Conversation out of Peer Review and to the entry itself.

If you'd like to know what happens now, check out the page on 'What Happens after your Entry has been Recommended?' at EditedGuide-Process. We hope this explains everything.

Thanks for contributing to the Edited Guide!

Congrats!

Cheers dude

Just made a few changes which, on re-reading it, made it sound a little better. Also took the advice offered and added a couple of links in for good measure.

The girlfriend (who has never been to the UK, let alone seen Colchester) says that, after reading the entry, she has absolutely no intention of ever going there, and is seriously considering dating someone who grew up in the place. Oh well

Well done anyway...
