Here is our weekly round-up of events from Bromham:
· As predicted by leading credit-rating agencies, the Parish Council debt with the Bromham Bank reached the dizzy heights of almost £100 this week. A new overdraft for the unheard-of amount of £150 is to be arranged, although this will be at an unsustainable rate of interest. This is expected to usher in a new age of austerity in Parish Council spending, including turning off the porch light in the Social Centre after midnight.
· Fred Piglet, ex-Chairman of Rural Bromham Bank Services (RBBS), has been stripped of his honorary title by the Parish Council, after it was revealed that he had once failed to buy his round in The Wounded Ferret in 1996. Dave Wentwrong, Council leader, commented that it was “the right thing to do”.
· Dwayne Mooney, high-living troubled star striker of Bromham Casuals, has been stripped of the captaincy of the East Wilts regional team, following charges that he verbally abused another player in a recent league game. Mooney is alleged to have called Melksham Morons’ Russian defender Ivor Bolokov “a bit of a twat”, a charge he denies. The matter will be settled with an arm-wrestling match at the back of the pavilion in July. This at least means that Mooney will be free to be picked for the remaining fixtures of the current season in the Germolene League.
· For details of these and all other Bromham stories, don’t forget to listen to local radio station Carrot FM.
