Drivel From Devizes: Dateline – Sunday 1st July 2018
Here is our weekly round-up of events from D-Town:
1. The hot weather
continues. Dogs are baked in locked, hot
cars. Plants and shrubs shrivel in their
beds for lack of water. A hosepipe ban
is surely just around the corner. The
feckless walk around with reddened, sun-burnt arms and faces. The air is laced with the sickening aromas of
kerosene, barbecue smoke and burning cheap burgers, as D-Town residents realise
that Summer is finally upon us. Still –
the nights are drawing in, and only six months to Christmas.
2. And citizens of The Vize
continue to throng the quaint, old, Grade II-listed drinking establishments of
the town to watch further comedy episodes of Ye Olde Worlde Cuppe on
timber-framed TVs and to laugh at the fate of teams from Germany, Portugal and
Argentina. Glorying in the knowledge
that citizens of those countries now know what it feels like to be English,
until at least next Tuesday, the Summer will soon be over. Despite the offer of free drinks to everyone
watching Scotland, Wales and Ireland’s World Cup games, trouble in the town is
been remarkably light.
