...but it's all sex parties and nudists round 'ere....
Anyone new to our marvellous county or just passing through must be wondering what they've walked into this week. Not one but two stories in the latest edition of the Western Gazette have come to our attention.
- this is the headline that made several Eastover residents choke on their crumpets yesterday morning as the Gazette reported that a couple ordered to stop running a 'swingers campsite' at West Camel were told that they could now carry on with their 'erotic activities'.
They were given the green light after 5 South Somerset District Councillors held a members meeting at the premises one Saturday night in March and said they were "most satisfied" with their findings. (In fact 3 of them were so satisfied they went back the following weekend where they held another member)
But that's not the only story raising eyebrows this week. Over at Garden City, several locals coughed into their Kellogs as they spotted the next headline a few pages on...
- with a picture of Julian Temperley apparenty wedged inbetween two large cider barrels thinking about the arrival of 300 nudists to nearby Thorney Lakes campsite in July. (He was later freed by Martock Fire Brigade and a pot of vaseline)
"We look forward to letting them sample what we offer here" Mr Temperley tells the Gazette. It's what they might be offering we're all worried about Mr T, just mind how fast you close your cider press and see if you can get Alice to design some emergency y-fronts.
Carry On Langport is delighted at how 'racy' the Gazette is getting in its reporting of local news recently and we all look forward to the centre-spread during the first week in July when the Thorney Nudist Festival gets in full swing
