I'm not averse to them - just can't see me wearing one personally. |

To rework a Tony Hancock joke (and just to beat Chris from Nailsea saying it first) the size jacket I'd need would solve the unemployment problem in the tailoring industry.

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.

Week three of the current series starting on 18th January 2016 takes him from Birmingham to Dartmoor (I think - info taken from the Radio Times but Digiguide has them a week later)
On the way he passes through Kidderminster, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Stroud, Bath, Bristol, Nailsea and the Somerset Levels.

So that's an "any permitted" ticket?  |

I believe he will also shown visiting the site of the Battle of Sedgemoor at Weston Zoyland and St. Marys Church in Bridgwater (unless this item has been edited out since recording last summer).

But for one of the Duke of Monmouth's men having an itchy trigger finger the lineage of the monarchy may have been very different. The rebels darn near crept up on the king's troops in the dead of night. Then, as the rebels aporoached Bussex Rhine, one of them let off his musket losing the element of surprise. The rebels were routed in the subsequent battle. Mr Portillo should have visited the Tudor Tavern in Taunton. Here the Duke of Monmouth held his Privy Council and he was declared the rightful heir before the ill fated battle. Then MP▸ should have visited Taunton Castle. Many of the captured rebels were tried here by Judge Jefferies in what became known as the Bloody Assizes. The lucky ones were transported. Those not so lucky were burned, beheaded; or hanged, drawn and quartered. Because of the rebellion, and the fact so many of the rebels came from Somerset, no subsequent reigning monarch visited Taunton until QE2 in the early 1980s. Queen Victoria is said to have drawn the blinds whenever she passed through Bridgwater and Taunton by train. Long memories those nobs. |

Rather surprising that the Royal Family have been so hostile to the inhabitants of Somerset in the past, given that both have such a long & proud history of inbreeding in common! |
