We need your help...

The artist who displayed the halloween art works at The Kelways Inn for the big party last weekend isn't too happy. Part of his exhibition around the pub included a number of large and colourful papier mashe skulls. One of them was 'borrowed' last weekend by an over enthusiastic admirer and it hasn't been seen since. To put it mildly, it's buggered up the artist's next exhibition. Would anyone across the area who woke up with a large skull in the bed last Sunday morning please wipe it off and return it to Kelways ASAP...no questions asked.


Whilst on the subject of missing 'artefacts' (scrap metal) from around Langport and Huish, Scotland Yard says it's still investigating the weather vane that once crowned the spire on the All Saints Hall. Rumour has it, the gold-plated cockrel was taken down some years back to be renovated and never seen again. Carry On Langport mentioned this some months ago but we're still waiting for churchwardens and town councillors to check their garages in case it's been 'forgotten.' We've contacted a handful of former Langport politicians at their homes in Barbados but have received no replies as yet.

- and the third object we're looking for is...


The direction and distances sign that had been screwed on the pillar outside The Kitchen since the 1960s. It was once part of Langport's 'street furniture' and every kid in town knew that Weymouth was 49 miles away. There's disagreement over when exactly it disappeared but it was certainly there 15 years ago. Allegations that Joy's Taxis have got it on the wall in their control room have been denied. Joy told Carry On Langport that John Cook gave her a SatNav last Christmas and that she now knows where Drayton is. So who's got it?

Finally, to all those Huish Episcopi residents who still haven't found their beautiful purpose-built Victorian village hall - type in 'derelict Bow Street pub' on your SatNavs and you should be ok.

Sleep well....and don't have nightmares.
