Drivel From Devizes: Dateline – Sunday 25th November
2018
Here is our weekly round-up of events from D-Town:
1.
Not
one to be left behind in modern trading and marketing techniques, D-Town
Chamber of Commerce has latched on to the concept of Black Friday by launching
its own discounting campaign. However,
it was felt that a single day would not be enough for the town’s traders, since
it can take some people the best part of a week to finally get down to the
shops. Accordingly the campaign featured
Yellow Monday, Tangerine Tuesday, White Wednesday and Blue Thursday. The campaign also featured a new approach, dubbed
BOGO or “Buy One, Get One”.
2. And a late snag has
cropped up in the DRAW (D-Town Runs Away from Wiltshire) negotiations. It was hoped that the Withdrawal Agreement,
which allows D-Town to reassume its historic isolationist civic autonomy, would
be ratified at a meeting of County Councillors today. However, TrowVegas has waited until this late
moment to raise again the highly-disputed issue of reciprocal arrangements for
the 49 bus route, in an attempt to operate a de facto veto on the
Agreement. Negotiations continue.
