WORDPLAY

As you may or may not know SORTED is an anagram of DORSET -aptly enough you say, but can anyone think of a good one for BRIDPORT? *Bring on Carol Vorderman and start "Countdown" music* While you're at it think of one for "AN EGO STILL NO HINT " too.

I'll make it a bit easier on you, how about coming up with an acronym for Bridport instead? There's a Bridport Radio Mikkimug for the best one.

  1. I would really like to organise a bridport radio brewhead evening. I’ve got a cellar bar with a woodburner in and some truly dreadful wine made from my own grapes and some elderberrys that I’d like to compare and contrast with other fiendish brews. If you’ve got brew to enter and fancy a laugh and cracking headache the next morning please leave message below and I’ll pick a date if there’s a few of us.

  2. There has been a huge increase in businesses that cater for the influx of wealthy 2nd home owners i.e estate agents, banks, shops selling expensive trinkets for the home, boutique hotels (puhleeese) the nelson asking 30 quid a person for B&B??, but this has also coresponded to a huge increase in the businesses catering for the locals, scope, oxfam, ferrel cat society, age concern, mencap, Social services, and a much larger dole office, etc, etc. Trouble is all the chelsea tractor driving weekenders dont want to bring a load of their cast off clothing down here, which is shame becuse some of us poor, forelock tugging lokel yokels could do with a bit of charity. “”””beggin yer ‘umble pardon for mentioning it”””” As a second thought I blame the charity shops for the recent and spookily unreported demise of “”””the jumble sale”””” I can see the headline now, “”””Boomtime for charity shops causes a tumble in the jumble”””” Blimey this cider IS strong

  3. The only racism I’ve heard in town is spouting from the people you would usually expect it to spout from. No surprises really. Here’s a question though…is there a fine line between racism and rural small/town mentality? If someone in the pub tells the “”””what do you do when you see an ethiopian drowning”””” joke one night, does that mean he’s likely to firebomb Ali’s the next? Racism has many forms. I feel that if a person lives in East London, and is surrounded by a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic population and they still have a problem with it, then they’re racist. If they’re a Dorset farmer who comments on how often they see non-white people in Bridders…I think they’re just ignorant…or curious.
