Tally Ho!
Back here in Blighty, Carry On Langport wants to say hello to our hundreds of readers overseas. The control panel for the blog allows us to see a list of countries people have logged on from. Here are the figures for the last 24 hours: (Thursday 2pm to Friday 2pm)
United Kingdom 394
United States 77
Italy 8
Italy 8
France 3
Ireland 3
New Zealand 2
Canada 1
Croatia 1
Other places that often show up are the United Arab Emirates (Mr & Mrs Dance), Spain (the couple who used to run the White Lion), Portugal (Miss Jewell & Mr Russell), Mexico (Mr Lister - now crossing the Pacific Ocean on a pedalo), Australia (Lord and Lady Nightingale's children) and Stuckey's Island on the River Parrett. We also believe Gary Glitter logs on regularly from his cell on Portland.
Indeed, several former Somerset residents have contacted us to say how nice it is to keep up with local 'news'. We're happy to have been of service - and as you can see from the photograph below - nothing changes round here.
Crowds gather at the 'reduced items' shelves at Langport Tesco last night.
