Bulletin From Bromham: Dateline
– Sunday 20th April 2014
Here is our weekly round-up of events from Bromham:
1.
Easter-time spreads its usual deadly pall of
misery over the village. As is normal
this time of year, no parking spaces available in the High Street to allow
normal citizens to visit the shop to pick up a pint of milk and the Sunday
newspaper, owing to the traffic jam caused by the twice-a-year brigade visiting
St Knickerless (Christmas and Easter double bonanza). This is a bunch of people who don’t know
where the church is for fifty weeks of the year, but who have been savagely
reminded by an episode of The Archers on Radio 4 that they really ought to get
down there – to see and be seen. They should re-name the church St Hypocritas.
2.
And of course, there’s no escape. Because a minority of citizens of the UK
continue to believe, contrary to all the evidence, that some bloke 2000 years
ago came back from the dead, it makes it impossible (as well as, apparently,
immoral) to run a bloody bus service to allow the sensible, rational, majority
of citizens to get out of the village.
It’s like Christianity gone mad, innit??
3.
For
details of these and all other Bromham stories, don’t forget to listen to local
radio station Carrot FM.
