Drivel From Devizes - Dateline Sunday 7th July 2019


Drivel From Devizes: Dateline – Sunday 7th July 2019

Here is our weekly round-up of events from D-Town:

1.      Public outrage was evident this week when the bloke at the chip shop in the Market Place, Ivor Biggun, and his common-law wife Penny Tration, refused to divulge the names of any of their children, or their god-parents, in a private chip-eating service held at the proprietor’s premises.  It was rumoured that portions of cod and haddock were secretly battered, and portions of mushy peas warmed through.  Members of the public, and fans of the chip shop, who have spent hundreds of pounds at the shop over the past few years, said that they felt somehow cheated by this unexpected show of secrecy. 

2.      And one of the Summer’s traditional sports returned to the local tennis courts on Monday.  The grass was green, the nets were tight and the local boys were there playing with their balls.  After the first week of grunting, squeaking, screaming, shouting and swearing, it was time for the Devizes International Cheating Competition.  New balls please!
