Bulletin From Bromham: Dateline
– Sunday 10th May 2015
Here is our weekly round-up of events from Bromham:
1. Bromham
was left in minor shock on Thursday when, contrary to all expectations, Dave
Wentwrong’s Field Land-Owners’ Party (FLOP) was re-elected to power in the
Parish Council for the five hundredth time in the last two thousand years. Despite hopes from the Seend Fundamentalists,
there was no revolution. Indeed, several
opposition candidates lost their deposits round the back of the bike-sheds. Three of the party leaders were said to be “considering
their position” and weighing up the
prospects of spending much, much more time with their families. So the next five years will be more
FLOP. No change there then.
2. Party
leaders joined service-men and their families at the Bromham War Memorial
yesterday, to give thanks for, and to remember those who fell in the last War
against the Seend Separatists. They laid wreaths at the tomb of the Unknown
Turnip Farmer, sang songs for Victory in Eddington (VE Day) and looked
suitably sad for nearly two minutes, before retiring for a major piss-up in lounge
bar of The Wounded Ferret. There was
also a celebration of the end of meat rationing in the village with a
passionate rendition of the war-time favourite song “Whale Meat Again.”
