Garlic or Cider?
Vous Decidez!
As Paris continues to struggle with pollution levels in the River Seine for its Olympic events, there are unconfirmed reports Langport Town Council has offered the use of the Cocklemoor stretch of the River Parrett.
"We've suggested hosting the Paddle Board and Fishing events" said a spokeswoman.
French officials are said to be interested in the idea but have questioned whether the Somerset waterway is in fact cleaner than La Seine.
"on no it's still polluted" said a local, "just got less garlic and more cider.....same difference"
If Cocklemoor does host the games then it's believed the Paddle Board Relay will have an extra element added at the end as a special 'thank you' to Langport.
Once competitors have crossed the finish line - they then get out, have a giant picnic and leave as much rubbish as they can piled up on and around the benches and at nearby litter bins.
As for the fishing event - it's believed that would involve competitors refusing to fish anywhere along the river between Bow Bridge and Black Bridge because there are now far too many paddle boarders to make it worth bothering with.

Chubby, who until recently ran the kebab house in Langport, took the gold.
