Previously the article said "River Ouzel (known locally as the River Lovat)". I have looked at information such as Ordnance Survey maps, books on the natural history of Bedfordshire, Google, and a Tourist Information leaflet on Leighton-Linslade, all of which just say "River Ouzel". It seems that the name Lovat is now only used at Newport Pagnell. JonH 12:47, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
The town council uses "Leighton-Linslade" to refer to the combination of the two towns. But I think other people are not so careful, and I have changed the first paragraph accordingly. Note that before I changed the article, its descriptions of population, railway, canal, and the Linslade Singers all applied partly to Linslade.
However, I live in Dunstable, and residents of Leighton-Linslade may have other opinions! JonH 13:00, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
Who is Tavis Prewett that has been added by a non logined user? Deben Dave 21:46, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
Don't be so silly, tavis is a well known and well respected member of the Leighton Buzzard Community Well create a page if he is that famous and link him too it that is all we are asking in fact we would like to know about him.
As a non-resident of Leighton Buzzard, I in fact come from rural Wales, I am surprised that many have not heard of Tavis Prewett. His tireless work for road safety is inspiring and has rubbed off on many people from my peer group, as has his infectious sense of humour in satirising pop culture (most notably his impressions of figures from advertising or reality television contests). It is a travesty that this upstanding member of the community is not recognised. He is an ambassador for Leighton Buzzard and should warrant a mention. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.172.110.194 ( talk) 10:28, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
There have been articles written about Tavis, on more than one occasion, and in more both the Observer and Citizen, but I have been unable to find the articles. Tavis is also well known in the community for his ongoing committment to Amatuer Dramatics. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.196.229.102 ( talk) 20:29, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
LB isn't appearing on Google Earth, so I added the COORD template at end as this does work. But now we seem to have two overlapping addresses at the top line? Is the second one coming from the OSCOOR in the infobox? -- John Maynard Friedman 14:06, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
What's Darren Gough got to do with Leighton Buzzard? Is that meant to be Rusty Goffe maybe? -- 7eden ( talk) 22:27, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
Why was the name Buzzard added? I see that it was added by a Bishop, by why? -- AW ( talk) 21:40, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
Quite an important operation based in LB during the Second World War. 79.186.228.154 ( talk) 06:28, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
Does anybody remember seeing an 'Enterprise' in or around Leighton Buzzard?
A farmer built in the late 60's early 70's in one of his fields (by a main road).
It made the local papers (Bucks Herald, etc).

I reverted an anon edit that removed all mention of Linslade from the lead. Although it is true that the current version is turgid and could do with a rewrite, it needs more work than just deleting a few phrases. So good idea but try again. -- John Maynard Friedman ( talk) 17:55, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
Contrary to the explanation for the Ascott estate given. Lionel de Rothschild did not buy land in the 1870s, he was given it by his uncle Baron Mayer de Rothschild who had built up the Mentmore estate from the 1840s and 50s. Ascott estate was formerly part of the Mentmore estate. Giano (talk) 22:24, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
The comedian Bob Monkhouse lived there and mentioned it frequently in his TV shows - his own Wikipedia article confirms.
