I have the unfortunate pleasure of going there about twice a week.

Hear far too many people calling commoners/chavs "plebs" and thats just the gayest word ever.

And "Ger orf moi land" of course.

Gayest county ever

Some common farmer type sayings from Devon (and I should think into Somerset);

'Grockals' = Tourists
'Dreckly' = Be/going there shortly (as in directly)
'Drash on' = Carry on/continue with haste
