Moving to Somerset (Crewkerne or Chard)

Hello,

Seriously looking into moving to Crewkerne/Chard area and wanted to get some local thoughts on the areas. I’m in my mid-late-20s (no kids) and like the idea of a 30 minute drive to the coast and being by some nice green space for walks/runs.

I like going out and all that other fun stuff, but don’t mind travelling further afield for all of that. A nice pub or two would do for the regular weekend. I’ve previously lived in London, Oxford and Bristol, so expect South Somerset to be a lot quieter, but wouldn’t mind if there were still parts of the community I could get involved with and nice people to meet.

Would love to hear some thoughts/comparison between Crewkerne and Chard?

[REQ] (Β£50) (#chard, Somerset, United Kingdom) (Repay Β£65, Christmas Eve at latest) (Bank Transfer, Monzo)

Need to get the last couple of Christmas dinner bits in and would like to avoid shopping on Christmas Eve when I get paid next. I'm due some other money Wednesday ish, but can't guarantee when that will show, so I'd repay Wednesday or the Thursday when I get paid.

Sorry no Paypal.

[REQ] (Β£400) (#chard, Somerset, United Kingdom) (Repay Β£470, weekly repayments by the 6th of November) (Bank Transfer, Monzo)

Due to COVID I moved back in with family for a little while. Finally found a little house share I can move into and now my work agency screws up my pay check, so I won't have enough to cover the rent and deposit.

Agency is due to fix the error in next weeks pay slip hopefully, but I need to make payment on the room asap. I get paid weekly, so weekly repayments of Β£120 , hopefully repay slightly faster if agency sorts itself out.

Dropped my best ever dad joke & no one was around to hear it

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies πŸ˜‚

These aren't dad jokes...

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
