Too much information, grahame Grin If you get his name wrong he sends you a packet (tin?) of anchovies in retaliation. Sprinkled with a little something he found at Zizzi in Salisbury 10 days  or so ago. Now you know why its called the Trans WILTS line.....or is it the Trains Wilt line ?

Many apologies grahame.  I would accept the anchovies, but not from Salisbury.

Love the mug too!  Grin

Now, let's celebrate the differences of Devon and Cornwall by venturing up to the best West Country county for a pint of Scrumpy and a hunk of vintage Farmhouse Cheddar.

Pasties and cream teas have their place, but only Somerset's finest produce can induce wobbly legs and surreal dreams.

Must admit I do like a good cheese ploughman’s with a cider.

As for being wobbly on my legs.  Had that problem for a while.  Grin

Just to put the debate to bed (and apologies for the click bait).....

It is scientific, so it must be right!   Grin Wink Tongue

A Devon & Cornwall music festival, featuring classic British bands, has been cancelled.

Organisers couldn't agree whether The Jam or Cream should go on first.
