07:00 BMT (Bridport Mean Time) Woolies Closure Causes Townwide Panic With the announcement that Woolies has gone into receivership we urge the good people of Bridport not to panic, the imminent shortage of 'Pick N Mix' in the town means thousands of children and soppy adults with a penchant for pre-mauled confectionery may begin to show signs of weakness and dizziness coupled with an uncontrollable craving for sugar. Doctors in the town are worried of an outbreak of Sugar Shortness Affected Dissorder or Ssad as it is more commonly known.
Thank you to the legions of undead who turned up on Allington Hill last Sunday, to take part in the Who's Afear'd music video shoot. The weather stayed clear for a successful day filming and as promised there was blood, gore and cider (the rough cider was like Jack Frost tiptoeing down your spine and zombified many).

Bridport has a long and interesting history, there is evidence in the lumps and bumps of the landscape that people have lived in this area since prehistoric times. In 1086 The Domesday book calls it Brideport. Bridiport 1157, Brudiport 1207, Bredeport 1266. The definition of the name means 'Harbour or market town belonging to Bredy', from Old English Port which can mean either 'port' or 'market' and Brit the name of the river that runs through it.
