tlethaby Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 Hi guys, As motoring correspondent for our papers - check out www.thisisshepton.co.uk then go to columnists and motoring if you wanna have a look - I've managed to get a new Impreza STi to road test for a week from July 7 to 14. I was wondering if there is anything on during that time where I can bring the car along to? If not, is it worth us organising a convoy of something? Glam and I are not around on Saturday July 12, but I think we are free otherwise. What do people think?
edmondo Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 SWFM is usually on in Taunton around this time however if not then I am sure we can get a day organised say for the Sunday.............perhaps our famous Weston Meet?
jd Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 not even sure if SWFM is happening this year as no information has been release to my knowledge.

As I sit here and pontificate "do you have a drink problem?" ............."everything revolves around pubs for you" ..............*whipering quietly - does it have a large car park and serve good grub?*

edmondo Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 So THAT'S where my Good Beer Guide went... I would never have guessed that was yours .....................Journalists and Alcohol never mix

OK, have spoken to Debbie behind the bar - the train station car park is £2 per day & if we arrange in advance they'll do a buffet for us or there's pasties & rolls as standard...... 01934 415109 Who knows WSM well? Would be good to have a few options to chose from
glam Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 So THAT'S where my Good Beer Guide went... What's yours is mine now! Pity you sold the Lancia really!
edmondo Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 We did a Weston meet last year...................we went down to the peir and then had a drive out to Blagdon for lunch and Chew Valley afterwards..............so if we could have lunch at a decent pub and then a drive out afterwards to the lakes
glam Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 (edited) We did a Weston meet last year...................we went down to the peir and then had a drive out to Blagdon for lunch and Chew Valley afterwards..............so if we could have lunch at a decent pub and then a drive out afterwards to the lakes That sounds perfect, how was Blagdon for food? There's the new Inn which apparently does generous portions, sounds right up your street Ed *ducks* Edited May 9, 2008 by glam
edmondo Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 That sounds perfect, how was Blagdon for food?There's the new Inn which apparently does generous portions, sounds right up your street Ed *ducks* Ha Ha................oh dear - been listening to this lot again havent you ...................cant remember the name of the Pub - not the one on the main road but the one over looking the lake...............Food was good however they have grassed over part of the Car Park to make the garden bigger but it is a cracking view..............would be no good if there is more than half a dozen Cars me thinks
tlethaby Posted May 9, 2008 Author Posted May 9, 2008 (edited) What's yours is mine now! Pity you sold the Lancia really! Don't remind me (about the Lancia that is )! The Live And Let Live (great name for a pub) is quite good in Blagdon as well, but the New Inn is good as well... Edited May 9, 2008 by tlethaby
edmondo Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 Don't remind me (about the Lancia that is )!The Live And Let Live (great name for a pub) is quite good in Blagdon as well, but the New Inn is good as well... I see - a expert on Pubs in Blagdon............I wonder why
edmondo Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 now you are talking - problem is not many country pubs do a carvery however if there is one in Weston we could drive out afterwards to the lakes!................hhhhhhmmmmmmmm Carvery
glam Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 Carvery GOOOD........ mr g, shouldn't you be on your way home by now?!
edmondo Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 sod the drive out, costs me a fortune lol and here as well but if those lanes are clear..................................
edmondo Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 Carvery GOOOD........ mr g, shouldn't you be on your way home by now?! Mr G??????????????...................I see is there something you may feel you need to share with us

glam Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 I thought his last name began with L and you have said G so is there a nickname we need to take the mickey out of - was it a typo or what? Ahhhhh, I see, mr g for glam I'm afraid. There is a nickname, I'll let you weedle it out of me over a pint when he's present to get all flustered!
