Which will be Burnham on Crouch, Essex, not Burnham on Sea, Somerset.

There are parts of Somereset, Devon, Cornwall that still exist in another time frame. Email is still newfangled and must be approached with caution. The telephone, with its jangly bell, is a tad more trust worthy. Watchet Boat Museum will be closed for the winter.

I still think you're looking at something like this - Weston is just up the coast.

When I lived in Watchet we mostly used semaphore and that weird whistling thing.

Believe me, Norfolk and Suffolk are no better, and sound strangely similar.
