I'm from the Gloucestershire Cotswolds but live just 'out of area' in South Oxfordshire' now. I'm in the Forst fairly regularly and love the area but have just learned to run,then hunker down and pull a thermal blanket over my head at the first sound of banjo music............... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was in a pub called the masons arms or known locally as the bush in joys green , upper lydbrook area , and a guy walked in wearing a brown drovers coat ( no shirt) he had a cap on his head that was 10 sizes too small , and he had the legs on his trousers held up with bailing twine (wurzel gummage style ) hob nail boots . And no eye brows and a bright red face . I said to my mate who was a local , “he looks a bit strange old butt “ , he told me “ah that’s Monty , he was cold and he had no wood to burn so he took a door off , poured petrol on it and blew himself up “.

True story ! After I wrote this I googled the pub and joys green to see if it’s still there . It’s shut now , but I found out that a film was made about Monty , I don’t know how to post it on here it’s on you tube, it’s called “Monty “ a film by Derek Jones 1981 . It’s quite sad to watch the hapless Monty being teased by the local kids . But it will give anyone interested a real insight into the people of the Forest of Dean .
