Based on what I know about Frome votes though I'm having a wild stab at around 10,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironically though had just 529 of his votes gone to the Lib Dem candidate instead Wells would have had it's first non--Tory MP since 1929. Ok....maybe an easy one for some....in which year was the first Pilton Party held? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was for high milk yields, although the press release didn't mention the low butterfat levels. Quantity over quality! They needed to do something about their silage.

stuartbert two hats Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 And to be fair, he shouldn't even have won the cup - it was the farm manager who was responsible, not the owner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In about '97 wecouldn't believe that there was a sign on the Railway Line , clearly official as it was in Glasto type face saying 'Fiels Of Weirdbeard'. That's when |LV started to becone official rather than underground. Before those days he used to sell Richard's Castle wine at free festivals and in '94 he used to run The World Cup Bar (unauthourised bar obs! ) in what is now Avalon. He actually had a couple of TV's in there to watch the games. Most unusual back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hidden at the back of the Stone Masons stall, officially called Rock Worx, I've also heard it nicknamed the Stonecutters/Stonemasons Arms. Still slightly annoyed that it's gone as it was a great place to stop in occasionally especially after hours - I believe that it was a victim of people openly posting about it's existence on here which for an unauthorised bar is death. Have some discretion people.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
