Bulletin From Bromham: Dateline
– Sunday 19th July 2015
Here is our weekly round-up of events from Bromham:
1. Scientists
in Bromham celebrated this week as their land probe, dubbed Wiltshire Voyager,
successfully carried out its drive-by mission in the far-distant town of
Trowbridge. This strange, alien world,
was first discovered in the last century, and only 50 years ago suffered the
indignity of being reduced in local parlance from a “town” to “gert village”. Photographs were beamed back via a weak 3G
link to space headquarters on the High Street, where head scientist George Piglet
said “we have discovered many new things about Trowbridge, including the fact
that we had long suspected – it is a place with no atmosphere.”
2. A
new report has been issued on the future of the Bromham Broadcasting
Corporation (BBC), setting out a range of options for how it should be
funded. The Corporation has suffered
recent criticism of its attempts to make popular programs such as “Strictly
Come Farming”, “Top Beer”, “The Bum Show” and “Fleece-Enders”, rather than more
public service-oriented documentaries such as “Planet Bromham” and “The Great
Bromham Beetroot-off”.

details of these and all other Bromham stories, don’t forget to listen to local
radio station Carrot FM.
