Terry Pratchett lived in - I think he still lives - in rural Somerset.
I remember hearing him in interview saying how, during the 1970s, I think, he was sitting in very rural pub with his wife, behind two farmers, who were discussing the difference between fox and dog tracks. From their speech he said they were clearly using the grime and/or dust on the table to illustrate their thoughts, and one said "No no - a dog - 'er'll make these tracks ... but renard - 'ee'll make 'em like this ... "
Pratchett said to his wife "Listen to that, and remember it, because it's probably the last time you'll ever hear someone un-self-consciously refer to a fox as "renard" ... "

^ My thoughts, exactly.
Then again, he is senile, so we should probably cut him some slack.
Pratchett, too.

He lives in Wiltshire
just outside Broadchalk. Nice house actually, but it's right on the road. He must get seven or eight cars A DAY day driving past.
