BreadBin Posted June 16, 2022 Posted June 16, 2022 My cohorts and I have always called it Pilton anyway. I used to work there but haven't for a while. Not since I stopped being willing to do it for free funnily enough. Quote

Its like a lighthouse one the shore of an ocean of granny booze. At least Shepton hasn't suffered the invasion of hipsters and crystal healing, vintage wearing, junk shop frequenting, hippy rich London people we've got here in Frome. I went for a pint last night in the latest hipster craft beer place to see what it's all about, £6.20 for a pint of very weird tasting IPA. I seem to have wandered off in to a whole different rant here. Quote

He's still wearing his shorts! Bumped into him near Minehead a couple of years ago. We watched him enter and his exposed legs were the first thing we saw coming through the door! Didn't recognise him till he sat down near us. Mrs Mep had her photo taken with him and I had to crop her out before sharing. Quote

At least Frome has some actual shops, unlike Glastonbury which is entirely crystals! Frome even has a guitar shop, although I see what you mean about it heading hipsterwards. Quote

Those bloody things are a pain in the ring. If you get stuck behind one, it's impossible to overtake. The que of traffic behind them must far outweigh the pollution saving of the electric hipster mobile. 14 hours ago, Woodinblack said: At least Frome has some actual shops, unlike Glastonbury which is entirely crystals!

Apparently there's such a thing as an essential crystal! The music shop is actually pretty good, it's the one shop I do use in town. The owner has had it since the 70's, nice old bloke. Quote
