Drivel From Devizes: Dateline – Sunday 10th February
2019
Here is our weekly round-up of events from D-Town:
1.
In
a shock move this week, local serial entrepreneur Ivor Bigun, was given leave
by D-Town’s Supreme Court to discontinue his action for libel against the local
newsagent. As a consequence, the
previous gagging order was immediately lifted, and it was revealed that Mr
Bigun had been accused of not paying his newspaper bill for more than two weeks
on the trot, and that he had been a peruser of dubious “top shelf”
publications. The charges of bothering
the newspaper boys was also dropped, after it was disclosed that the gagging
activities had been entirely voluntary.
2. And the Transport Commissioner in Trowvegas was
reported as saying that there was a special place in the circle of hell for
those D-Town councillors who had wanted to withdraw from providing the 18.23
express through service on the 49 bus route, without having any clear
alternative time-table in place. The remark
came after a delegation from The Vize had pleaded for more time to hire a
replacement bus service, since (in a further shock move) it had been revealed
that the contract with a new bus company (with no buses and no bus-station) had
previously been awarded a contract to run a bus service. You couldn’t make it up.
