Drivel From Devizes: Dateline – Sunday 20th May 2018
Here is our weekly round-up of events from D-Town:
1. Citizens of The
Vize were out in force yesterday, lining the streets, sometimes one deep,
hanging out the red, white & blue bunting, together with special tea
parties and street parties, in order to celebrate the wonderful news that
Poundland might be having a sale next week.
Civic rejoicing continued long into the night to wish the happy shop
staff “god speed” in their attempts to mark up the “50% off” stickers in time
for Monday morning.
2. D-Town escaped its share of the nation-wide chaos
caused when every train company in the country decided to completely change its
timetables, in a belated attempt to make more trains run on time, thus avoiding
financial penalties from the government for running delayed services. Whilst it would be possible to assume that
this was because of excellent forward planning by the local rail company, and
the near-faultless customer service provided by its staff, the real reason is
much simpler – there hasn’t been a train station in the town for over 50
years. Problem solved! Who knew?
3. For details of these and all other Devizes stories, don’t
forget to listen to local radio station D-Town F-Off.
