Title: Shepton Mallett?? Where's that?? Post by: thetrout on March 14, 2013, 18:05:22 See the link for Shepton Mallett on NRES (http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/stations_destinations/nonrail/towns/sheptonmallett.html)
I never knew such a place existed... ;D (It's spelt Shepton Mallet for those not in the know) ;) Title: Re: Shepton Mallett?? Where's that?? Post by: swrural on March 14, 2013, 22:25:21 Ah, dear old Shepton Mallet. He was once rumoured to have an affair with that scandalous woman Haselbury Plucknett. I had that on good authority from my old friend Compton Dando.
Title: Re: Shepton Mallett?? Where's that?? Post by: trainer on March 14, 2013, 23:03:48 I believe Shepton Mallett may be a relative of Anatole (1837 - 1919), who of course has a strong railway connection.

Post by: thetrout on March 14, 2013, 23:32:48 (Is there an emoticon for tongue-in-cheek?) :P <-- that one! ;) ;D Title: Re: Shepton Mallett?? Where's that?? Post by: DavidBrown on March 15, 2013, 00:20:15 Shepton Mallett - twinned with Newton Abbott
(another commonly misspelt place). Title: Re: Shepton Mallett?? Where's that?? Post by: Chris from Nailsea on March 15, 2013, 00:32:10 I had that on good authority from my old friend Compton Dando. A fairly close relative of Nempnett Thrubwell, I understand? ;) Title: Re: Shepton Mallett?? Where's that?? Post by: JayMac on March 15, 2013, 00:39:07 Distantly related to Farrington Gurney, I believe. Who, by turn, is related by marriage to Buckland Dinham. :D
Title: Re: Shepton Mallett?? Where's that?? Post by: Chris from Nailsea on March 15, 2013, 00:44:29 Ah - but was Farrington Gurney related to the rather strange Gurney Slade?? :P
Title: Re: Shepton Mallett?? Where's that?? Post by: JayMac on March 15, 2013, 00:49:17 Gurney Slade was ostracised and went to live with Maiden Bradley.
Title: Re: Shepton Mallett?? Where's that?? Post by: Chris from Nailsea on March 15, 2013, 01:01:50 Oh! I thought she was best friends with Maiden Newton? :o
Title: Re: Shepton Mallett?? Where's that?? Post by: thetrout on March 15, 2013, 07:03:49 Who had a daughter called Newton St Cyres? :P ;D
Title: Re: Shepton Mallett?? Where's that?? Post by: chuffed on March 15, 2013, 08:31:00 Not forgetting everyones favourite Uncle, Melbury Bubb who had a drink problem, and was sent to live at Puddle (sic) trenthide. He didn't like to advertise the fact he came from Nottingham....
Title: Re: Shepton Mallett?? Where's that?? Post by: Chris from Nailsea on March 15, 2013, 18:26:34 I may have made this observation before, but I think you're all very silly - and so am I, for encouraging you. ::) :o ;D

Title: Re: Shepton Mallett?? Where's that?? Post by: Chris from Nailsea on March 15, 2013, 21:07:14 Wielded by a jealous Curry Rivel, possibly? :P
Title: Re: Shepton Mallett?? Where's that?? Post by: quakers yard on March 18, 2013, 19:31:56 And quite a way from Wire Piddle!
Title: Re: Shepton Mallett?? Where's that?? Post by: eightf48544 on March 18, 2013, 21:12:30 Then there was the BTF film with Avril Hammer
Title: Re: Shepton Mallett?? Where's that?? Post by: adc82140 on March 21, 2013, 08:13:03 Don't forget that old Lincolnshire trist when Mavis Enderby has a brief fling with Old Bolingbroke.

Post by: Chris from Nailsea on March 22, 2013, 02:54:50 There was also the quite shocking tale about Old Sarum and his rather unhealthy interest in Maiden Castle - but, perhaps fortunately, nothing came of that. :-X
Title: Re: Shepton Mallett?? Where's that?? Post by: trainer on March 22, 2013, 08:58:47 You obviously didn't hear about their love child, Bovey Tracey.
Title: Re: Shepton Mallett?? Where's that?? Post by: swrural on March 22, 2013, 19:08:47 'This getting very unnecessarily 'hetero' in content' complained residents of Queen Camel, and echoed by those from Indian Queens.
Title: Re: Shepton Mallett?? Where's that?? Post by: Chris from Nailsea on March 24, 2013, 22:31:26 Passengers using Cardiff Queen Street chose to distance themselves from such issues, however. :-X
