Use of the word 'Mistress'? edit

I am not sure that this archaic word is really in use any more. 'Lover' maybe ? Excalibur (talk) 20:46, 19 July 2015 (UTC) It;s still in common use in the UK in 2017. Cj1340Reply

I've heard it used several times this year. It's more precise than lover. Jim Michael (talk) 13:16, 17 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

Television edit

An Australian policeman, given the task of watching Stonehouse, said that Stonehouse watched television with his hat pulled down over his ears and in dark glasses. This made the policeman suspicious. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.54.201.140 (talk) 13:19, 15 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

Loan edit

The Crown Agents made a loan of £350,000 to Stonehouse. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.54.201.140 (talk) 13:42, 15 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

An earlier loan of £100,000 has been mentioned. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.54.201.140 (talk) 14:46, 15 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

Time edit

It became apparent at the trial in the 1970's that Stonehouse had spent months rehearsing his new identity. This was not new in 2005. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.54.201.140 (talk) 09:18, 16 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

"Although unhappy with the situation, the Labour Party did not expel him." edit

The above passage was quoted, (more or less), with attribution to "Wiki", by MP Eddie Hughes in the House of Commons, beginning at 3:19 of this video.--Wehwalt (talk) 11:26, 4 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Personal life section - external link removed edit

I've reverted an edit which included a link to an external website because it's a self-published source WP:SELFPUB, and appears to be complaints against other published sources which are critical of John Stonehouse. IndigoBeach (talk) 19:24, 1 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
