The Wurzels were signing books at my local W.H Smiths once, but the cheap bastards made you pay for the book and the autograph. Needless to say, I did not get an autograph.
It’s rather shameful knowing that I was born and raised in Somerset, the land that gave birth to the Wurzles.
Jumping on Johnny's bandwagon here...

I heard that you can still be burnt as a witch for owning a computer in Somerset. "It be a magic box that spirits speak through".

Or go south off the Dorset coast to Portland Isle, where the *rabbit is believed to be very bad luck and to even say the word could send Portlanders into a stupor, fearing of what might happen.
Strange people in the West country.
(* The fear of rabbits is based on the fact that quarry men (Portland Stone) would often see rabbits emerging from their barrows immediately before a rock fall. Such rock falls often injured and even killed quarry workers; therefore, it is understandable why rabbits became associated with bad luck.)

*ahem* -josh, that would have been vaguely funny but summer preceeds the "fall" - or Autumn as we like to call it (perfectly good word ta-very-much).
and the west country is so dull as to defy description. for example "exeter -the capital of the south-west!" is no bigger than peterborough (only recently a city and then out of sympathy) and boasts nothing more impressive than the second largest collection of big issue sellers outside london.and scotland.
edit:bristol,if you were wondering...oh..you weren't.

Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.
"Did my singing please you?"
"No! The words you sang were wrong!"
