Talk:Wychwood

Origin of Oxford

I have not deleted this as I am open to correction, but surely the name Oxford derives from "a crossing place (ford) for Oxen" on the River Thames?

I have left the citation tag in place for the first half of this passage, although i have less reason to disbelieve it. Alihaig 14:31, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Parking

Is there convenient parking for Obamamutts who do not wish to take the train or bicycle? Can a section of the forest be razed to pave way for a parking lot for the Obamamutts? For Obamamongrels, Cameronton is a good place to park; can all of the Parking lots be conveniently listed in this article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.185.73.218 (talk) 16:42, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
