Unless you&#8217;re a car manufacturer.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a huge one of these car facilities on the M5 motorway in England, going south-west towards Clevedon or other Somerset towns. I used to see it when driving to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.loudmastering.com\">LOUD Mastering studio<\/a> in Taunton or friends&#8217; houses. Avon and Somerset is a part of the world which fascinates me. For a start you have Portishead town which spawned a rather good band. I would say there is a slight difference in pronunciation emphasis between the town name and band name. The area of Avon is named directly after the River Avon, derived from something like &#8220;afon&#8221; in Brythonic, which in modern Welsh just means &#8220;river&#8221;. Then in Somerset, I&#8217;ve never been to Nailsea but the town of Clevedon is an ultra-quiet coastal town with a pier. Then deep into Somerset (by my reckoning) you have those peculiar village names like Curry Mallet, Curry Rivel and Temple Cloud. Of which the latter has a signpost saying &#8220;canine hydrotherapy centre&#8221;. Which to me was a new concept but apparently not entirely as mystical foo-foo as it sounds. Speaking of which, there&#8217;s also Glastonbury town which of course lends its name to the festival &#8211; known by locals by the quaintly modest name of &#8220;Pilton Pop Festival&#8221;. Back to the cars, you see them on the right-hand side while driving due south-west over a bridge. On a map it would be <a href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?hl=en&amp;safe=off&amp;q=m5+nailsea+clevedon&amp;um=1&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;split=0&amp;sa=X&amp;oi=geocode_result&amp;resnum=1&amp;ct=title\">here<\/a>. It looks very spectacular down at Avonmouth Docks and I wouldn&#8217;t do it justice by attempting my own photograph. If you&#8217;re driving, don&#8217;t take your eyes off the road. These thoughts all occurred to me within seconds of seeing those Guardian car pictures.
