Silly season at Langport...



Bank holiday frolics about town...

The good weather brought out the best in us over the bank holiday weekend.

There was excitement on Cocklemoor on Sunday when this pair of undies (pictured) was found draped over the direction sign down there.

It was later discovered that they belonged to this woman...


She was arrested moments later at Black Bridge and was charged with indecent exposure and trying to swim to Huish Episcopi without a passport.

Later on, on the same stretch of river, 5 people and their dog floated past on 3 airbeds. They had started their journey at Black Bridge and were apparently on their way to Bow Wharf for coffee.

"I hope they pre-booked" said a passer-by.


Meanwhile, up on Bow Street on Saturday...the EU referendum 'out' campaign marched through...


Several men, all 'suited and booted', then had their annual dinner at The Langport Arms and were later seen staggering home to various addresses across Langport and Huish to tell their wives and girlfriends that they were "out"

"I'd suspected it for years" said an Eastover woman, "he's always listening to Shirley Bassey."

Meanwhile, the 'in' campaign (who'd spent most of the day accusing anybody who wants to vote 'out' of racism) got even more sanctimonious at the Rose and Crown where they had a sing-song around the piano.


"It's marvellously out of tune isn't it?" said one drinker, "...I mean the EU...not the piano..."

 In fact there was so much going on around both Huish and Langport over the bank holiday weekend...a town councillor climbed up on the roof of NatWest and turned on the Bat Signal to summon help...


...but the caped crusader didn't show up. So the Town Clerk opted for 'plan B'...and phoned Langport FC's goalie instead who put his cider down at Kelways and turned up ready for action...


That's it for now...more news as it comes in!
