News From Bromham - Dateline Sunday 23rd October 2016

Bulletin From Bromham: Dateline – Sunday 23rd October 2016

Here is our weekly round-up of events from Bromham:
                                                        
1.       Bromham’s secretive and iconoclastic veteran songsmith Robert Zucchiniman was this week awarded the prestigious Knobbly Prize for “services to literature”.  This seems to consist of creating a few interesting songs back in the 1960s with dope-inspired lyrics, continuing to make records of no critical acclaim for the following forty years, hosting a digital-only radio station with no listeners and, finally, and most importantly of all, still being alive in 2016.

2.       The revered head of the Parish Council, Theresa Green, has just arrived back in breathless state from the Big Meeting in Trowbridge, where she apparently made a speech to the assembled Big Cheeses at the end of dinner.  The speech was made at 1 a.m. when most of the audience had already left, but a waiter who was busy stacking chairs and clearing plates at the end of the evening said that she probably made some very good points.  However, he admitted that he had missed most of it because of helping the diners on with their coats and calling taxis for them.

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