It is real A7 country Jim.
My grandfather was one of 13 children - he won a scholarship to Sexey's School but had to leave and work in family business when his father was killed in a road traffic accident outside Cannard's Grave Inn.
His youngest brother (my great Uncle Ralph) only died a few years back and lived in nearby Stoney Stratton - he was 94 and had spent most of his life in the Rayal Navy and then a Purser on the QE2. His favourite saying was "I could not give a fish's tits about that"! He is greatly missed.
