Medieval historian interested in Wales, Somerset exile, inept cricketer, General Editor of the longest-running and largest local history project yet devised, the Victoria County History of England. Probably drinking tea.
- Declaring an interest, I was born in that unit, my sisters were: that’s a massive geographical gap in coverage (20 miles minimum in any direction: Yeovil is a town of 50 thousand these days, and abysmal transport links).

- A niche gripe, but how in the name of sanity is 30 minutes reckoned a minimum transfer time between Waterloo East and Waterloo main (on most of the planning apps)? Perhaps, if you had never been to either before, and were infirm. Maybe.
