# Ah
Thanks. I assumed the "Tor" was a form of "Tour", i.e. "Tower". Belms!

# For Americans
Glastonbury is an innocent-looking village in the south of England, crammed to the rafters with loons and hippies. The Tor is an ancient, unexplained man-made hill at the edge of the village, with a tower at the top, as shown. (If you've heard of King Arthur, the legends are supposedly based here.) On ritual occasions (the equinoxes, the solistices and The Festival*, hordes of manky hippies gather at night at the tower, chanting and playing rhythms, and consuming large quantities of hallucinagenic drugs.)

Other than that, it's mostly surrounded by sheep.

* Glastonbury Festival - like Woodstock, except muddier. Oh, and it happens almost every year.

# The Tor also
attracts many otherwise normal people, who decide to go up there for fun then have HUGE arguments which can be heard for miles around, and have a bit of a falling out and a punch up.

Then they descend the hill all pissed off whilst local youths (e.g. me) and other assorted professionals (me also) gather randomly at the bottom and at benches situated in the surrounding country lanes for something to do as Somerset is horiffically boring.

OH and whilst you're parked up there its a good excuse for couples to make out in the back of YOUR car.

FFS I was saving that honour!
