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.

They need to pay for all that lager and lime... and Combine Harvesters are bloody expensive these days

Blasphemer! Get 'im!

Your punishment: You will be locked in a barn with a CD player which has "I Am A Cider Drinker" on repeat.

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".

Bit like the widespread believe that electricity is produced by the witch in Wookie Hole...

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.)

Nope. Just Chavs and Straw Dogs style drunks.

Living there , I have to agree with you.

Good grief, you'd think this thread would have rustled up some West Country pride...

You mean Summer?

*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.
