Dear Sir,
In light of recent national news, I can today confirm that HM Government has decided to choose Langport as one of the 5 locations across Britain that will trial the new compulsory Digital ID scheme.
From January 2026 - residents will only be permitted to bring the town to a complete standstill by parking outside the charity shops on Cheapside to unload a saucepan, to stand around looking dazed and bemused on a Friday asking where the market is and to inbreed with people from Aller if they have digital ID on their smart phones.
If the Langport trial is a success then we'll be extending it to Huish Episcopi in an attempt to track down who buggered up the changing room development at the sports & social club.
Regards
Rt Hon Sid James MP, Home Secretary

Dear Carry On Langport,
We were all sad to hear that the Hanging Chapel was hit 3 times in one day last week.
Glad to hear there was no visible damage but what on earth is going on?! 3 times in a day? What's wrong with people?
We were wondering if you wanted any old PE crash mats to strap to either side of the archway at both ends to protect the stone work? Might make a difference.
Give us a ring if you're interested.
Cheers.
T Harris, J Wright & S Brough.

To the Local Blogger,
Would you pass on my thanks to a member of the public I encountered in Langport Tesco recently.
While I was leaving the store with 80 quid's worth of groceries without paying last week, she reminded me I'd forgotten to dab my clubcard for the points at the self-service machines.
That was lucky! How kind of her! Every little helps.
Yours,

Dear Carry On Bloke,
Can I offer my sincere apologies to an elderly lady I grabbed by the hair and started to drag out the door while I was shoplifting at Langport Tesco last week.
She looked a bit like Ena Sharples on Coronation Street all those years ago and I think I must have confused her hair net with the security netting around the bottles of JD and so I grabbed her as well.
I am so sorry.
Please, if you manage to get in touch with her, would you give her my details and tell her I've got one of her earrings as well.
Thank you.

Dear Sir,
Could you please pass on to your readers that there will be traffic lights outside the town hall in Langport one day next week as new efforts are made to restart the town clock.
On Monday, technicians will be connecting jump leads from the defib machine in the old red telephone box opposite to the clock mechanism up inside the town hall roof.
Let's see if that works.
Yours,
Doctor Emmett Brown
PS - I've been asked to 'jump start' a few other things in Langport & Huish too, I'll see what I can do.
😊
That's it for now, thanks for the contributions and carry on reading!
