    It's a well known fact that the Wurzels are welsh agent provocateurs trying to make us country folk look brainless and stupid.

    At least they admit we've got brand new combine harvesters, but that's poor compensation for the racial sterotyping, and is clearly just a smokescreen to stop us seeing through to their blatantly conniving Welsh underbelly.

    One of my poll options was 'Wales smells' but it did not come up me being an idiot..or something more sinister? The editor has taffic tendancies...David Icke once went to Wales....An anagram of Wales is 'lawes'.

    I don't think I've ever seen 'em live. (-Well, I've got no memory of it, anyway... )

    It soon struck me upon first moving to Bristol that some people genuinely do love The Wurzels without the slightest hint of irony whatsoever.

    Conversely, would it be fair to say that those in other parts of the country can only ever appreciate The Wurzels in a sort of ironic way?

    i watched them at Paulton Rugby club and there were all ages and classes united as one great glowing mass of humanity it was like the falling of the Berlin Wall if elderly redcheeked men in breeches had done it. There were wurzels neckerchiefs for sale

    they said they'll give you the key, so why not call their bluff?

    Tbh, it's going to be a rusty scrap heap of a combine harvester 30 odd years down the line, so the scam might be if they *do* now give you the key.

    Would they still give us the key if we had been drinking cider i wonder? That would be dangerous and foolhardy of them and condoning drink-driving-a real scourge of the Mendips

    How many people can you offer the keys of one combine harvester to before the ruse falls flat. I'm surprised we still listen to their overdone combine charms.

    Again, I would've been there, but I can't remember much about it...

    If it was '98, I would've been too busy watching Spiritualized and/or Portishead.

    They played Ashton Court in 1996 I think, same year Skunk Anansie played.

    I think they're hysterical, not in an ironic way either, their lyrics are actually very knowing.

    Anyone coming to see them on Thursday at the Bierkeller?

    I knew a bloke who used to go up Ashton Gate and support the away team because they sometimes had the Wurzels on at half-time.

    I think I may have seen them once, in Pill.

    I like them ironically.
