The Mendip Times has produced a video diary of the 154th Mid Somerset Show - including a clip of The Mangledwurzels performing 'I'll Never Get A Scrumpy Here' (which was obviously a blatent fib as they were performing right next to Heck's Cider Stall!). To view this, go to the Mendip Times website and select MendipTV and click on the big brown cow!
