Frome is proud of its long history and still operates on local time, as a result of which all clocks are required by law to be 8 minutes behind Greenwich gay Time. Frome is home to many landmarks such as follies, windmills, lighthouses, foghorns, telephone boxes, houses, Sainsbury's, McDonald's and of course a KFC, but unusually no Tesco. For this ain't no Tesco Town like its neighbours. This is one of the reasons why Frome is seen as such a negatively (and positively) unique city by some.
