Pronunciation of the name

[edit]

Whilst the received pronunciation is "Cools-don" (IPA /'ku:lsdən/), many locals pronounce it "Coals-den" (/'kəʊlsdən/).

Erm, no we don't. The received pronounciation is correct as written in IPA, however the more common pronounciation is actually 'Callsdun' (this will read better to people who live around London than anywhere else; I can't work out how to write 'call' in IPA as it's pronounced by 95% of London, hence the note here). --Veratien 10:25, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Addition of St. Andrews Church

[edit]

Was surprised to see no mention of the local Anglican Church on the article. Have added both a reference and a link at the bottom - hope this is acceptable. And for the record, I say 'Koo-wuls-den'. If that makes sense! :) Tom Black 23:38, 12 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I was surprised to find a somewhat incomplete list of the places of worship in Coulsdon, yet with a link to a photograph of one place of worship. I will try to fill out this list with some additional details. Buzwad (talk) 21:05, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation

[edit]

The debate on pronunciation is interesting if dated. The common pronunciation is Cools-den. Long live the ever evolving English Language. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.130.130.105 (talk) 12:42, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Autochthony writes - and the link to LBVCR goes to a British Heart Foundation site. Very Worthy - but not strictly relevant. Could the Wiki-ist who added that take it away, please. 27 June 2009 - 1720z. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.161.194.33 (talk) 17:20, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Surrey?

[edit]

In the Times, it says "Coulsdon, Surrey". Is this correct? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.109.254.144 (talk) 02:49, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The location of Coulsdon (and other places in the Outer London boroughs) is treated inconsistently in the media. Coulsdon is usually referred as "Coulsdon, South London" or "Coulsdon, Surrey". As this page says, it is in the LONDON Borough of Croydon, and this has been the case since 1965. Some postcoding systems still insist that it is in Surrey. Some automated letters from the Croydon Council itself are addressed to "Coulsdon, Surrey". Google Maps says that it is in Surrey. Yet it is not included in modern maps of Surrey. Many people still put Surrey in their postal address, either believing Coulsdon still is in Surrey or from a wish to be part of the county and not part of London or even Croydon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by NonID (talk • contribs) 11:40, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Further to my previous note, Google Maps now describes the location as Greater London. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NonID (talk • contribs) 19:18, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Places of worship

[edit]

It seems that the "Places of Religious (sic) interest" is a grandiose title for a list of places of worship. Such a list may be better suited to the end of the article, rather than taking such prominence (2nd section) with no explanation. Buzwad (talk) 23:09, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
