Talk:Midhirst

Most consistently misspelt?
Is it worth noting Midhirst's claim to the title of "New Zealand's most consistently misspelt place name"? (This is the observation of an old mail-sorter.) Maps sometimes show it as Midhurst, and this spelling even occurs on business signs in the township (probably work of a slipshod New Plymouth signwriter). I pass over the occasional cruelly facetious reference to the place as "Mudhurst".&mdash;Koro Neil (talk) 14:29, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
 * No, we shouldn't say it's the most misspelt place name unless there's a reliable source, and even then it would be trivia. However, I have added a hatnote to the article Midhurst should people be looking for this article instead, and a hatnote on this article for people looking for that one.- gadfium 23:49, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Mis Spelling Definite
A quick look at the local phone book in the area code section it is misspelt but in the suburb/locality it is spelled correctly in the whgite pages we have
 * midhirst primary school
 * midhirst service station
 * midhurst dairy
 * midhurst engenering
 * midrurst tavern

I also recall that a few years ago the highway signs on one side of the town read midhurst while at the other end read midhirst Maximum effect (talk) 00:48, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
