Sunday Bulletin

The inquest's been held in to the death of a house plant at the Langport Arms last month.

The Swiss Cheese plant, bought by Richard for Malcolm on his 80th birthday 20 years ago,  had become part of the furniture at the hotel over the years being moved from pillar to post and from fireplace to mantel piece.

But in February it was thrown across the lobby outside the men's toilets during an argument between the Rotary Club and the Freemasons ovcr whether brussel sprouts should be served with a carvery.

Botanists from Kelways did all they could to save the plant but it was pronounced dead in the early hours of February 7th.

Manageress Debbie Fawlty said she'd already been in touch with the former owners and was hoping they'd be happy with her idea for a replacment for the much-loved cheese plant....a red hot poker.

"We thought we'd put it in the reception area" she told reporters. 

At Cheapside Coroner's Court yesterday a verdict of accidental death was recorded

 😃

In other news:

With all of Langport's public clocks now out of action, a pensioner has stepped in to help locals out.

Clocks at the town hall, the library and the old convent are all currently stopped.

Even the one on Langport Hill is struggling.

But 83 year-old Dandy Nichols says her 1950s mantel clock is still going and has decided to put it in her window at her house on post office corner.

"I can't guarantee it'll always be right though" she warned, "I bought it at a jumble sale in Middlezoy so it's got 3 hands and the pendulum swings the wrong way" 

There are no further details.

 😁

And Finally

 

 

MB Games has announced it's withdrawing its Langport version of Monopoly.

It comes after several 'factual' errors were reported around the board including only the blue properties being owned by ABP when in fact they own the oranges and the reds too.

 A Freemason also had issues with the local edition asking whether 'Free Parking' was code for block everybody in and cause chaos around the chapel on Monday nights.

A Curry Rivel woman said she thought the Friday market section of the board was too big, "surely they only need 3 spaces" she told us. 

And an Eastover woman also complained that 'Community Chest' was an unfair description of her address.

MB Games says it'll relaunch the game this summer but refused to comment on claims it was planning to merge the Langport edition with Huish Episcopi.  

"We'd have to think very hard about what to charge when someone lands on 'council tax' " said a spokesman.

Can of worms!

A Tale Of Three Towers:

 (or spires even - you decide)

DING DONG - HERE'S YOUR SUNDAY BULLETIN!

Clock towers, spires, bell towers - whatever you want to call them - all appear to be in the news at the moment.

Let's do the one at All Saints Hall (on the left) first.

The spire on the building on  North Street has been taken down and replaced with an evidently smaller one.

No problem with that, needs must etc, but the big question is of course, now the spire's been made safe and strong again - will we be getting the large gold-plated weather vane back that mysteriously 'went missing' over 10 years ago?

A beautiful piece of local architecture that seems to have been forgotten. Where is it? In someone's garage or shed? Or did that church warden who went to live in the Bahamas have it?

We need a local Miss Marple or Sherlock Holmes to get to the bottom of this one, it would be nice to have it back up there where it stood for decades, in its rightful place.

Now to the school! 

 Local woman and member of staff there Linette Pengelly has launched a fundraiser to save the primary school's bell tower which is in urgent need of repair.

If it isn't sorted, it'll have to come off completely.

It comes as the school's about to celebrate its 150th birthday, look closely and you can see the year 1876 in the stonework above one of the windows.

Here's an idea for you Mrs P.... 

We hear you've got contacts in the local music industry. How about a big 150th birthday concert in the playground? Turn it in to a school fundraiser too? Know any local bands?

All us former pupils could go and finish off with a giant game of marbles, get young Billy Langford to organise a conker match, play British Bulldog on the grass (if there's any left) then we could drag Mr Prewett out of retirement, get him to blow his whistle and all line up for assembly. 

😁 

Just a thought.

Either way, if you want to donate to the school bell tower fund, click HERE to find out how.

Finally to the town hall...

The hands on the town clock have been seized up for almost a year, now the bell appears to have followed suit and it too has stopped chiming.

Looks like the library clock isn't working either and the one at the convent looks pretty knackered as well.

We don't have much luck with public clocks around here do we?

The long delay in dealing with the town clock is evidently about money.

Although it begs the question, wasn't the very expensive refurbisment work a few years ago guaranteed?

Didn't last long did it.

Money in Langport has always been a problem. A tiny town and population with a lot of public facilities to pay for.

If only the town could merge its finances with another very wealthy nearby village filled with houses and council tax payers. Hmmmmm. Any ideas?

FRIDAY MORNING REPORT:

 

OUR SURVEY SAID!

With Langport town clock's bell now seized up as well as the hands, we asked these locals on their way back from a scrabble tournament at Millfield last night how many times the clock had been right since they turned 16: 

We're also sad to report that despite a close contest in the scrabble on Thursday evening, our Langport team lost out at the last minute when they attempted to spell 'cider' with the letter i

"We forgot that at Millfield they spell it with a y" said captain Hammy Taggett, "the posh bastards".

No greasy spoon, few unpretencious pubs, no cheap rent or people who can pronounce Muchelney around here then.

Croissant & coffee for £6.50 anyone? Not yet but it could be on the way! 

Oh dear oh dear.

Let's open a railway station, put the town in the commuter belt and completely shaft hard-up locals shall we?

Sunday Bulletin:

 

Let's take look at some local stories coming in this weekend:

Who You Gonna Call?

 

 Staff at the Langport Arms didn't know who to call first on a day last week, a plumber or an exorcist.

A large ceramic sink was found pulled off the wall in a room on Friday morning.

"We were going to get the vicar in to have a word with the resident ghosts" said manager Debbie Fawlty, "but then we remembered that room isn't haunted so we just booked a plumber instead."

But she denied rumours a crate of frozen kippers and an inflatable town councillor were also found in the room.

"Absolutely not!" she said, "that was the week before"

😊

 

What's On The Box?

 

 

Langport TV has unveiled a handful of new shows for its spring season.

They include a weekly countdown show on the state of our local roads, Top of the Pots will go out every Thursday.

A new Bow Street-based weekly quiz show is also on the way, 'Whose Line Is It Anyway?' will be on Sunday evenings.

It's also been confirmed there'll be a brand new series of the Cartgate Picnic Area sitcom Are You Being Perved? which keeps it's regular slot on Friday nights.

😊

 

What's On At Your Local Pub?

Well, one of them anyway.

One of our roving reporters was out and about in Aller last night and popped in to the Old Pound Inn for a few. 

While there he asked a local lad if the pub had any events on the calender.

"Look behind you mate" was the prompt reply:

 

 😁

 Fun For All The Family

With many local roads flooded, hundreds of acres of farmland underwater and rivers still bursting their banks - the Environment Agency says it's expecting to see Burnham-on-Sea pier coming down the Parrett again early next week.

You can get on at Bow Bridge on Tuesday morning with a return ticket now costing just £15.

😊  

 

And Finally

 

 

Weekend Gentrification Report: 

CCTV footage has emerged of a woman being bundled in to the back of an unmarked van at Castle Cary railway station.

It's reported she wasn't even wearing a Barbour jacket or carrying a Mulberry handbag but was approaching newtly newly arrived passengers and handing out leaflets advertising other things to see in the area.

They included Wells Cathedral, Glastonbury Tor, Ham Hill Country Park, the Somerset Levels, Muchelney Abbey, Sherborne Abbey, Montacute House, Barrington Court, the Fleet Air Arm Museum, Haynes Motor Museum and countless visitor-friendly cider farm venues.

 An eyewitness standing on the platform on the phone taking out a bank loan for a coffee and croissant, told Carry On Langport 4 men in white coats took her away in the van at around 4 o'clock on Thursday

She was then spotted out shopping a day later in a passive compliant state saying that everything was "just fine"

 

There are no further details.

Still flying the flag!

 

With Somerset commercial broadcasters like Orchard FM, Ivel FM and Midwest Radio long gone [taken over and then closed down by Heart, The Breeze & Greatest Hits Radio to name but a few] a few independent ones are still out there fighting the good fight and flying the flag for local radio

Radio Ninesprings comes out of a studio in Yeovil on FM and online.

It's also there on your smart speaker. 

Possibly not everyone's cup of tea but if you like local info - sport, pub live music gig listings, events - from local presenters who don't talk about Love Island, Emmerdale & Traitors every 20 minutes then maybe give it a go.

Radio Ninesprings also has more than 30 records and doesn't ask you to text in to win £150,000 every 20 minutes either. 

   Maybe even give Saturdays a go, one of Langport's very own is in the chair from 9am till midday every Saturday

😁 

If you want to advertise an event, it's free.

Go to radioninesprings.com, click on 'events calender' and click on 'add event' and type in the details, then the presenters read it out on air from time to time throughout the day.

If you want to advertise your business, as in be part of the station's ad breaks, e-mail info@radioninesprings.com

It's far far cheaper than most people think.

Radio Ninesprings, still flying the flag for local radio!

Shopping Trip To 1971 Anyone?

Here's a blast from the past!

The programme has surfaced for the Huish Episcopi & District Flower, Fruit & Vegetable Society Exhibition of 1971. 

Inside are several local advertisers.

Look closely and you'll notice Frank Pengelly's shop hadn't yet moved to the old barn opposite the primary school and 3 branches of Overt Locke are mentioned. 

Enjoy this blast from the past from 55 years ago:

YOUR CORRESPONDENCE

 

A selection of readers' e-mails, messages & observations.

 

 

Dear Editor,

After several confusing months of hearing and reading about a proposed 'transport hub' for Langport, we have now finally worked out what it all means.

Unless we've got this one wrong, it means removing the parking spaces outside the line of shops in the precinct and replacing them with bus stops.

Brilliant. Well done Somerset Council.

Many thanks.

From all the shopkeepers there and their elderly, infirm and disabled customers.

 

 ******

To Carry On Langport,

Could you please pass on our thanks to the family who sat next to us at a riverside cafe in Langport on Sunday last week.

As they unzipped their Barbours, asked their children Wind and Drift if they wanted soya or oat milk in their double decaf Americanos and tied their 2 Labradoodlerussels to the table, they started talking about the flooding.

My husband and I haven't had such a good laugh for ages.

We thought we'd already heard all the variations of the way Muchelney can be mispronounced but what they came out with was absolutely marvellous.

They then made a car crash out of trying to say Kingsbury Episcopi and Othery and when I heard one of them describe himself as local I'm afraid I spat my coffee out.

Embarrassed, we tried to leave but the Chelsea Chariot they'd come in was so wide we couldn't open the car doors.

Many thanks.

 [Name & Address supplied] 

 ******

Dear Sir,

While playing pool in the newly opened games room in the Old Stable Bar at the Langport Arms last week, I was stunned to see 15 police officers and 4 sniffer dogs barge through the side door.

As I apologised for forgetting to pay for my carvery the Sunday before, it turned out it was actually a reinactment group marking something that happened there over 30 years ago.

How wonderful! 

I have now joined up and wondered if you could publicise our next event in April marking 5 years since cats started attending Huish Academy.

Many thanks.

To Whom It May Concern

Can I just thank you for some of your work in December, in particular the absolute furore you caused when you asked why a local hospitality business closed so early one Saturday over Christmas.

My wife and I usually have a chuckle at some of the comments on the 'Somerton - Say What You Want' Facebook page - like when someone asked if Proper Job's opening hours were the same as Overt Locke's - but that post on your page about the pub hours was priceless.

As were some of the comments you got, we worked [and struggled] in hospitality for many years and are still trying to get our heads around some of them to be honest.

Please ask another outrageous question soon and we look forward to the ensuing hysteria.

Angie & Den Watts, Long Sutton.

Dear Blogger,

Please pass on to your readers that it is with great regret we have to announce that there won't be any traffic lights through Langport and Huish until at least the beginning of next month.

Dear C.O.L,

Re: the suspended ground works for the new changing rooms at Langport & Huish Sports & Social Club.

With no progress likely to be made before at least Easter 2029 and Langport Town FC home games still being played in Somerton, would anyone mind if we threw some bulbs in the abandoned footings there?

And in keeping with the general 'shambolic' feel of the project, we thought we'd plant them upside down.

Regards,

Langport & District Gardening Club 

 PS - and would anybody mind if we planted some tulips in the potholes on Bow Street? 

 

 ******

 To the blogger,

 In some parts of the UK, members of the public have started placing large objects, like bollards, in dangerous potholes to warn oncoming traffic.

With swerving vehicles and punctured tyres becoming a daily occurence here in Somerset, could I encourage people around Langport & Huish to do something similar.

Dangerous? Maybe. But no more dangerous than a cyclist being thrown in to the path of an oncoming vehicle on Bow Bridge eh.

Many thanks.

Citizen Smith.

Transport Hub @ Langport?

 

Proposals to create some sort of rural transport hub for Langport are still in the pipeline.

With bus stops to a handful of destinations already at Westover, Bow Street, North Street and elsewhere - do we need one? 

How much will it cost and who's paying? 

And with space at a premium in Langport and the car parks already full on a daily basis - where would it be?

Finally, will it make it easier to go and meet someone after finding them on a dating app?

 

 

Looks Like It Might Be!

To get some answers to these questions and more, how about popping in to a local drop-in session tomorrow?

It's right here in the centre of town, here's part of the poster advertising it:

 

👍

In other news:

The Langport Arms has now opened a games room down where La Roche and The Stable Bar used to be for darts, pool and sports events on TV.

A spokeswoman told Carry On Langport they couldn't promise steaks or police raids but that the new space was already proving popular.

Only freeview/terrestrial TV sports events will be shown on the big screen including the Six Nations rugby this week.

It can be difficult to capture the vastness of the current flooding on film (especially on a cheap smartphone!) but this was the view from the tower roof at Langport's All Saints Church this lunchtime.

Don't panic Mr Mainwaring! It's happened before. Many times.

But still a spectacular sight and still devastating for homes and businesses who've been flooded out.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT?

 

PRESS RELEASE 

Yesterday the Flooding On The Levels Action Group (FLAG) issued a lengthy press release.

 With parts of many towns and villages flooded across Somerset right now - affecting farmland and farms, business parks, homes, roads, schools, sports clubs and sports fields and many other venues - here's a slice of some of what FLAG had to say.

See what you make of it:  

"During last week’s significant rainfall, pumping capacity at Northmoor Pumping Station was severely impacted due to planned electrical works being carried out by National Grid. As a result, the pumps were unable to operate during a critical period. Although further planned works were postponed, several vital days of pumping capacity were lost. This has had a clear and tangible impact on water levels across the Northmoor area.

 
In addition, local residents repeatedly requested that temporary pumps be deployed to support existing infrastructure. Delays in decision-making meant that the opportunity to safely install temporary pumps at Currymoor was missed. While installing pumps at this location would have been effective while water levels were falling, it is now unsafe to do so until levels reduce further.

 
Residents have also been told that Northmoor Pumping Station cannot operate due to a lack of capacity in the River Parrett. This explanation is misleading. Northmoor Pumping Station is capable of operating continuously when river conditions allow. While it is correct that pumping must be reduced or paused when river levels in the tidal River Parrett are too high to safely discharge water, this is dependent on actual river and tidal conditions at the time and is not limited solely to spring tides. Current conditions do not appear to justify the extent of the delays experienced.

 
We would like to place on record our sincere thanks to the Environment Agency and Internal Drainage Board staff working on the ground, who have been working tirelessly under difficult conditions to keep pumps operational. Our frustration is directed at decision-making higher up the command chain, where delays have left communities exposed.

 
We are also increasingly concerned about additional water entering the system from upstream development. In particular, the discharge from the new water treatment works in North Petherton appears to be contributing to increased flows into Northmoor via Park Brook. This requires urgent investigation to understand its impact during periods of high rainfall.

 
More broadly, the EA continues to rely on trigger levels based on the 2014 flood event. Since then, there has been significant development in areas such as Taunton and North Petherton. Many of these developments do not appear to provide adequate water storage, resulting in water reaching the Somerset Levels far more quickly than it did in 2014."

***** 

That's just part of it, but certainly some interesting points being made there.

PLACE YOUR BETS!

 

 

With the rumour mill out of control across the shire in recent months on who's in the line-up to take over Langport's last pub, there's been a development this week.

Bookmakers Paddy Power and William Hill say they're about to release odds on a handful of likely 'runners'.

They include a joint bid from Sonny & Cher (Eastover), Zsa Zsa Gabor (Kingsbury), another joint bid by the Driscoll Brothers (Aller) and a local retired utility company engineer.

 

So who will it be?

No mention of a bid from the local knackers yard then? 

Either way, all the best to whoever takes it on. Let's just get the place open again eh!

HERE WE GO AGAIN! 

Messaging on social media overnight, Donald Trump repeated his desire to 'acquire' The Hanging Chapel and turn it in to a US base to monitor Huish Episcopi submarines operating in Langport waters.

It's believed former Langport town councillor Val Saunders may be coming out of retirement to fight the proposals. 

"It's ChapelGate all over again!" she told reporters outside her villa in Waggidorm.

There are also claims the US President may have his eyes on a Huish Episcopi hospitality venue but nothing's been confirmed.

Alma Tucker's performed at weddings, funerals and other services at St Mary's in Huish Episcopi since she was a teenager.

In a wonderful act of professionalism and dedication, she even played at her own husband's funeral 10 years ago.

And look at this corker of a photograph, taken in the early 80s when Canon Molesworth ruled the roost!

Cheerio Mrs Derham

 

 

 

Jean Derham, who taught hundreds of us at the local primary school, has died at the grand old age of 93.

Pictured here with one of her classes in the early 1970s, she passed away peacefully at her home in Pibsbury earlier this month.

She leaves a husband Victor and son Tony to whom we pass on our condolences.

Jean, or "Miss" as many of us knew her, began working at the school in 1971 and stayed there until retirement in the mid 1980s.

Tony has said any of his Mum's former pupils are welcome to attend her funeral.

It's at Taunton Crematorium on Friday 30th January at 2:40pm.

 

A huge part of childhood for many of us here across Langport, Huish and the surrounding villages.

Wassail season is well and truly here!

 

Some wassailers throw toast at their apple trees, some throw cider, some even shoot their trees [to get those pesky evil spirits out of the orchard] and most wassailers have a good sing-song too.

 

There are lots of events on so apologies if we haven't included yours, here's what we have so far starting with one this evening!

 

 

This one's tomorrow

 

then it's up the hill to Ham

 

 

 

and this one's back down the hill right next to 'The Church in 

 

the Field'

 

 

One more event for you folks - ok it's not a wassail - but it certainly looks like it could have an 'olde English' medieval theme, check this event out over in Westonzoyland all day tomorrow:

Go Tractors Go!

 

 

New Year's Day Somerset Tractor Run 2026

Over 100 tractors took part yesterday in local farmers' annual fundraiser bringing people out on to the streets all over a large chunk of the county.

Raising money for the Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance and the farmers' support group Farmerados, a handy 'tractor tracker' online meant many spectators knew exactly when to expect them.

Here's a delightfully noisy little taster from Langport yesterday: 

Who needs rook-scarers when you've got a horn like that!

😁😁😁

 

Although it wasn't caught on video, one of the funniest sights of the Langport procession was seeing a Somerset Council yellow gritter lorry stuck right at the back of the procession by which time the front end had already turned in to Drayton.

Poor old chap - but he had a smile on his face!

If you'd like to donate to the fundraising pot then click HERE which takes you to the event's official website.

 

 

As of around 9 o'clock this morning the total stood at over two thousand three hundred pounds.

Well done to all those who took part, what a great thing to watch go by!
