Talk:Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells

original letter
There was an original letter - and the term is a generic phrase for "slightly reactionary comment on modern mores"

("No particular objection" to moving definition to Wiktionary.)

Further to above - thanks whoever developed it. I have an impression that one of the letters involved swimwear/bikinis. Jackiespeel 17:57, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Examples
The examples section appears to consist entirely of original research. If no sources can be given discussing them as an example, then I will remove them. Objections? Cheers! Scapler (talk) 17:47, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
 * It's been more than three months and no one has been able to supply sources or has raised objections, so I've gone and deleted it. However, I think this article would be improved by the addition of the original letter, if that's available somewhere.  howcheng  {chat} 04:03, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Incorrect reference
I don't claim great familiarity with A Room with a View but the character who speaks of Tunbridge Wells is Charlotte Bartlett, not Lucy. Lucy's surname is Honeychurch and she is Charlotte's younger cousin. AconUK (talk) 09:04, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

 * IIRC, it did originate with Frank Muir and Denis Norden so you may be correct. IIARC, they also wrote 'Balham, Gateway to the South' as done by Peter Sellers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.149.173.13 (talk) 10:47, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

Regardless
I'm sorry, I just don't see what you're saying. What's specific to one place? The name? It may utilize a specific place name, but the entire point of that sentence is to say that it isn't specific to one place and can be used for letters from anywhere. My version conveys exactly the same information without sounding so dull and precise. Esszet (talk) 00:59, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
 * But that's the thing, the stereotype is that they are from Royal Tunbridge Wells whereas the fact is they aren't always. I think it is important to be specific to the name.  The C of E God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 08:26, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
 * It already is, it says that they are commonly referred to as "Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells" letters, being that precise is taking it a little too far. Esszet (talk) 23:38, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
