Bulletin From Bromham: Dateline
– Sunday 27th April 2014
Here is our weekly round-up of events from Bromham:
1.
In a rare, indeed unique, service at St
Knickerless church today, not one, but two, past vicars of the church will be
awarded The Freedom Of Bromham by not one, but two, current vicars, in
recognition of their roles in sweeping various child-sex scandals under the ecclesiastical
carpet, thus saving the Church millions of pounds in potential compensation
payments. Both past vicars will adopt
the formal title of “Jolly Good Egg”.
The service is expected to be attended by tens of people.
2.
And in a shock move this week, Bromham’s High
Street Bank ignored the pleadings of the Parish Council, and awarded its
employees a vast 0.5% pay rise, coupled with a 0.5% bonus, stating that it was
vital in today’s cut-throat financial environment to retain key talent. Jock Scroggins, counter clerk at the bank,
and reputedly one of the “key talent” said that he would likely blow his unexpected
windfall in an extra pint at The Wounded Ferret next Friday night.
