Drivel From Devizes - Dateline Sunday 28th January 2018

Drivel From Devizes: Dateline – Sunday 28th January 2018

Here is our weekly round-up of events from D-Town:

1.      Cultural links are set to be extended this week as D-Town steps up its programme of reaching out to other boroughs in the County.  In an unprecedented move, the Council has agreed to lend its almost-complete set of commemorative tea-towels to Trowbridge for six months.  The move follows intense speculation on the topic, and remains subject to detailed analysis as to where the delicate fabrics are in a stable enough condition to be moved without damage.  In return Trowbridge has undertaken to lend its collection of used bus tickets dating back to the 1970s.

2.      Security has been tight in The Vize this week as the town played host to the Wiltshire Economic Forum (WEF).  A highlight of the comings and goings was the arrival on Thursday of Ronald Thump, leader of the far-right lunatic fringe from the Swindon High Imperialist Town (SHIThole), who entered the town in a fleet of aging camper vans, which were then unceremoniously parked on The Green for 24 hours, before leaving again in a flurry of dust and diesel fumes.

3.      For details of these and all other Devizes stories, don’t forget to listen to local radio station D-Town F-Off.
