How we write these
Journal entries follow the same rule as the rest of the site: a fact goes in only if we can point to where it came from, and the sources are listed at the foot of each entry. Where a source is an archived copy of an official page, we say so. If you spot something that has changed, write to hello@breakwaterstays.com and we will correct it.
