I grew up 5 miles from Yeovil and 5 miles from Sherborne.
This means that I went to school in Sherborne but shopped in Yeovil as a teenager. At that time I didn't think Yeovil was too bad.
Now when I go and visit the folks I tend to go into both towns. These days I don't even stop in Yeovil. It really is a shit hole, and I live in Ipswich for fuck sake.
Sherborne on the other hand is a very lovely town.

I went to Yeovil College
It was pretty awful, but you're right Sherborne is a lovely town.

I went to Yeovil college
in the early 90s.

I don't know if it's any better now but the way everyone walked to the college from the town was across the grounds.
This meant that in the winter the constant trudging of students across the grass turned it into a quagmire which got tramped through the college.

Of course PJ Harvey went to Yeovil College and our music teacher was John Parish - her co writer. In fact one of the tracks from their most recent album was written for our production of Hamlet.
