Easy mistake to make. The airfield is only just in Somerset(!).

Wiltshire has long-held ambitions over its western neighbour. Forces are massing on the border as we speak.

That's a different theatre, L J S - the Wilts/Dorzet campaign.

War on Two Fronts!!

Have the Wilts Rifles learned nothing from history? War on two fronts is doomed to failure.

I'm a West Zummerset lad myself, and our borders have always been a closely guarded secret, with most non-locals assuming that Devon started at Minehead.

Perhaps we should follow Cornwall's lead with a strongly fortified land boundary to avoid confusion...

That'll be part of the Madge-enot line.

Incidentally, whatever happened to the Wessex Liberation Front? Didn't he give up and become a solicitor.

At least it they were not (I assume) referred to as the 'RAF' Black Cats or anything similar!

..Which is not to be confused with the popular Wessex People's Front...The one with the affiliation with the West Wiltshire Popular Peoples front of West Wiltshire...you know, the one with the Gannett....! (and Madonnas Ex Home....in Dorset..near Compton Abbas - our forward staging base..)

....oh gowd - resisting the temptation to slash ones wrists...
