Yes. Historians are a bit like women then, they never catch up with themselves.


But does anything happen in Somerest, apart from fighting and crop circles?

Oh yes ~ quite a lot I 'spect. One man's boredom being meat and drink to a local historian.
I spend hours researching and writing about my family history but nobody else would be in the least interested.

Linked to fighting and crop circles, and general Somerset-ness. The root of the whole thing IMHO.
