A TAUNTON who admits he s not a good swimmer, rescued an elderly man who had fallen in to the town s River Tone. Paul Markham, widely known as Sez, saved the man s life by jumping into the fast flowing river between Bathpool Bridge and the Obridge Viaduct. Paul, 55, was walking his Rottweiler Gerrard when he spotted a woman frantically waving her arms and shouting for help. He said the woman, Karen Gower, screamed: He s gone in. I went down to the bank and saw the guy in the water, said Paul. The current was drawing him under and then he was coming up again.
