...as Eli's sells out of pickled onions...
This was the scene on the Langport-Huish Episcopi border earlier this week as an emergency delivery of pickled onions on its way to the nearby Rose and Crown got stuck inside The Hanging Chapel. It caused traffic chaos in the two parishes and several illegal immigrants hiding in the back of the lorry could only escape by getting up through a 'secret trap door' in the ceiling of the archway. They reportedly climbed out into the middle of a Freemasons meeting and haven't been seen since. For the full story, see this week's Somerton and Langport edition of The award-winning Western Gazette.
