Drivel From Devizes: Dateline – Sunday 23rd December
2018
Here is our weekly round-up of events from D-Town:
1.
The
holiday plans of tens of D-Town citizens were thrown into chaos this week as
the 49 bus-route to Trowvegas was twice suspended for long periods when the
International Bus Station & Tropical Nail Bar Centre had to be closed. Police were called in, together with fire
services, paramedics, the coastguard, the AA and the Boy Scouts movement to
investigate reports that a number of non-Wiltshire tourists had been spotted
aimlessly wandering round the town. A
police spokesperson said “safety and security of D-Town citizens are our
primary concerns. We are worried that
these strangers are a danger both to themselves and to others. Until we can guarantee that they have been
safely cleared from the area, the 49 service will remain suspended”.
2. And The Vize FC is
looking for a new head coach and manager after the shock sacking of Kenny
Dogleash by the Board this week. Results
have been poor so far this season, and the team are languishing in the lower
reaches of the Germolene (SW Wilts) Combination League. Dogleash had been expecting to discuss the
proposed £10 budget to be made available to him in the transfer window in
January, but instead had been shown the door.
The chairwoman of the Board, Norma Stitts, said that the club needed an
injection of new ideas. As he was driven
away in a friend’s old Toyota, Dogleash was seen to mouth the words “stupid
woman” – an accusation he later denied, claiming he had said “no hard feelings,
you old bat”.
