Yeovil definitely to be avoided at all costs....slightly better than Shepton Mallet, bjt not much.
Bruton is actually lovely, and quite surprisingly posh nowadays. I am just outside.....nearer Castle Cary really, but never really go there either.
To be fair, we never got that far round. We stayed in Thornford, over the border, near Sherborne, a couple of times. I spent probably too much time in Dorchester, Stinsford, and Bockhampton sating my Thomas Hardy appetite. I’d go back every year, but it’s one hoor of a drive from AB22.
Yeovil was the nearest place to us to buy some maps I needed, and it’s a horror of a place.
I’m familiar with Yeovil, to an extent - I remember the dulcet tones of the BBC presenter announcing the football results of the lower leagues decades ago at a time when there was no fast-forward. How boring that was, but we knew no different. In Somerset is it not? The days of Big Daddy etc. Dp
PS - don’t get too clever on here! It’s upsets some people.
Reply to Stewarty:
Whore you referring too - wasn’t that (the etiquette issue) specifically in the context of entirely non-footballing matters and anti-English, anti-Unionist, pro-Scotland (at any costs) sentiment, the likes of which has ultimately led to the complete and utter, and not overdue, implosion of the SNP? The sh*** you spoke about cold-calling on peoples doors, talking complete sh*** is part of the reason for their demise. Tattie Floored, and the Nation ultimately weren’t so stupid as to take such ****e lying down.
