What is it about Somerset? Is it because folks are more conservative down here?

I went to school in Wells Reese, and when I was there they were very conservative, but not as bad as Shepton Mallet where I grew up.
I'm not quite so sure about the sheep though as they only really appealed after shearing!
(Can anybody tell me how to do quotes properly, can't seem to get the name connected to it)

P.S. The easiest way to get the name above a quote box is to hit the "Quote" link just above the post you're replying to. Then, you can delete as much as you like from inside the quote tags. It'll also show you the code needed to put the name in manually, if you like.

(I did it, thanks Reese) :thumbup:
Haven't been back to the old town for many moons, but you are right, I think the Bell was the place to go. The best time was when the girls at Clarkes factory finished for their Christmas holiday and spent the afternoon celebrating in the Bell.
I learnt a lot!! lol

Don't forget the pre-Pilton festy folk that hang there! Trouble with the local in our village is the disturbing lack of attractive young people...and by "young" I mean anyone under 50! rolleyes
