Village burglar "thrilled"
There's late night shopping throughout much of Langport this evening. Several businesses are hoping to attract shoppers with tastings, festive music and special offers.
Staff at the One Stop say they're "delighted" that it's one of the few nights of the year when the streets are so busy at the end of their shift that they don't have to walk home with a baseball bat up their jumper.
The village burglar at Huish Episcopi says he's hoping for a good night too, "I'm thrilled!" he said, "I usually get quite a lot done when they're all away late night shopping" he said, as he sold another four domestic cats to the Chinese takeaway in Martock. Local pikeys are also looking forward to everyone being away in Langport this evening. "It's one of our best nights of the year!" said one them, as he put another chainsaw on E-bay.
As well as many of Langport's shops and businesses, The Angel is throwing its doors open too this evening where a festive choir will be performing.
The town's late night Christmas shopping events kick off towards 5pm and wind up around 8. Don't forget your carrier bags.

In other news, some Langporters have reportedly been quite vocal about the town's festive efforts this year. The police say they've received at least 30 e-mails about a Christmas light installation at the Town Hall (above)...mostly from middle-aged women living on Bow Street who said they were "rather enjoying it"...even though it was the wrong way up.
