Drivel From Devizes: Dateline – Sunday 20th October 2019
Here is our weekly
round-up of events from D-Town:
1. After
much political pressure, the Lord Mayor of D-Town has finally written a note to
the milkman. It requests that the
milkman should continue to deliver two pints of semi-skimmed to the Council
Chambers for another two months.
However, he has refused to sign this note, and has included another note
which says that they don’t really want to continue with the milk delivery at
all. A third note, signed by disaffected
councillors has sought a compromise by asking for just one pint of whole milk
to be delivered every other day. The
dairy involved has said that it will look at these notes, but will not decide
what action to take until it has consulted all 27 of its milk delivery
personnel.
2. And
in other news, the welfare of the planet was again highlighted when a pensioner
from The Vize managed to glue himself to the side of the No. 49 bus to
Trowbridge on Tuesday. Police, fire
crews and para-medics were called to the scene to free the clearly distressed
pensioner, whilst crowds looked on and cheered in his support. Later, sipping tea and dunking a McVitie’s
digestive, the man explained that it had not in fact been a climate change
protest, but an unlucky accident when he had mistaken a tube of glue in his
shopping bag for his purse, in an attempt to find his Rover Ticket.
