Re: swans

Are you referring to Slimbridge?

Gloucestershire accents vary considerably between the two sides of the Severn.

In the north of the county people often think of themselves as living in the midlands.

In the south they usually see themselves as part of the west country.

Terrestrial TV transmissions have been dogged by this for years.

South of Gloucester we're more interested in Bristol news than anything happening in Birmingham and were pissed off that analogue transmissions were for the midlands. Still, if TV had been as local as it was meant to be I'd have never have heard of Don Amott, King of Caravans.

All sorted since TV went digital.
