Could 'Dis Be Cane Shum is published on a roughly 6 week basis by a conglomerate of publishing giants posing as a backstreet tin pot organisation. Whilst this website, to the untrained eye, may appear to be cobbled together by a bunch of saddoes with nothing better to do, it is, in fact, a mega-huge tax loss exercise designed to give us more money for doing less work. If you're sat there thinking we've revolutionised the Internet, then think again before making the short trip over to That Be Bristle, where you'll see where we pinched our initial idea from. Cheers babbers!

ALBERT MILLS FORMER GARDENING correspondent for the now-defunct 'Somerset Oracle', Editor Albert is one of the founding members of this fabled tome. His claim to fame is that he was once in the audience at the filming of BBC's 'Nationwide' program, an accolade which alone was enough to land him the job at Could 'Dis Be Cane Shum. He is the author of one book, 'Overnight Failure', and is separated from wife Estelle, with no accountable children. MORE	CHARLTON BOTTOM CHARLTON BOTTOM once famously claimed, improbably, to have been present when the Romans were last in the town, and is the website's other founding member. A former member of 70's glam rock band The Mutz Nutz, Charlton began his journalistic career as a stringer for the lowly 'Ubley Gazette', during which time he covered the story of the infamous Cider Drought of 1985. He has four children and is blissfully married to his beloved wife of 15 years, Rosy.	ANNA CACIA-COURT THE DELIGHTFUL Anna was the first writer to be recruited to the team after she knocked on Charlton's door late one night to ask for assistance with her broken down VW Beetle. The former Arts & Entertainment correspondent for London's 'Capital Punishment' magazine, Ms Cacia-Court has been resident in the town for over a decade. Much-travelled, Anna is mother to six children and is happily married to Arthur, a commercial airline pilot.
ELI McCHURCH ENIGMATIC ELI was the first victim of our recruitment drive in spring 2004, having previously worked for a rival publication. He was snared with an offer of Double Deckers for life, a space in the BANES car park, free copies of the Keynsham & Saltford Observer (20p where sold) and a pile of old jazz mags. Initially reluctant, Eli finally relented following three sessions of shock therapy and an ear-bashing from Anna. He is married with children.	WILLIAM BLOKE WILLIAM BLOKE is known for many reasons, but tact is not one of them. If he were to be cryogenically frozen and snapped in half you'd find the word KEYNSHAM running right through him. His lifelong love of the town has seen his involvement in local politics and sport, while he has his own beer mug in most of the town's drinking houses. On top of all this, he's now writing for Could 'Dis Be Cane Shum, bringing his own blend of humour and rage. How does he find the time?	MUHAMMED AL-SAHAF THE FORMER Iraqi Information Minister has moved to Cane Shum, finding refuge at BANES' Riverside building, where he works as the Dis-Information Minister on a part-time basis. T. LLEWELLYN-BOWEN TOFF TARQUIN is the leader of activist group the Wellsway Liberation Front, demanding autonomy for the Chandag area of Keynsham.
