Any dates any good alfie?

Somerset people have a very rude nickname for Shepton Mallet. Unfortunately, since I learnt what that was I can never hear the town's name without thinking of it

Do they? I lived not far from there sometime and if i heard it i cannot remember it.

Its a beautiful town centre..almost absolutely dead though, emoty shops and a new out of town retail park.

I haven't been there for years. Glastonbury & Wells were my old patch about 30 years ago.
I do remember seeing SM on the High Street programme on BBC a couple of years ago.

Struggling here, Itsme. Anything to do with Nancy Camel's Hole?

As for heating, we'd like to go ground source heat pump with wood back-up, but it depends upon what we can afford.when we get a ball park figure for the build, we can look at that. If the ball-park figure is too high, we will go to Plan B.

Bearing in mind that we currently have a garage, good sized external utility and a 25' conservatory built on, and we're going to knock them down, our place won't end up any larger. If you saw them, you really wouldn't want to keep these 'features,' though! :rotfl:

We would like to go ground source but I just don't think there will be money in the budget for it. We're hoping that the system we go with will be compatible if and when we decide we can afford to renew anything and, moreover, the insulation and any heat capture from the large south facing windows will mean we don't have to spend too much on heating the house up anyway. That's how I will justify the cost of the windows in my head, so don't please tell me otherwise, I'd rather stay deluded.

We went to visit one of the companies who make the windows today. Lovely.... and very pricey.

No, it was much less educated than referring to anything in particular. It was a play on the name itself & much more Carry On, schoolboy-type toilet humour.

Inlike both, but as well as liking glastonbury it makes me cross sometimes. I used to like living where i could get to it, but living there would get me down. I worked for someone who lived there for a while, and lived in for a few weeks while we were working round the clock, and that was enough for me! Beautiful architecture, lovely feeling amoung half the population though.

Well, it was slightly weird but it got a whole lot weirder after I left.
(Yes, surprising it wasn't the other way round, I know )
It definitely had an aura about the place........ & not just from the sheepskin factory :rotfl:
