Drivel from Devizes - Dateline Sunday 29th March 2020


Drivel From Devizes: Dateline – Sunday 29th March 2020

Here is our weekly round-up of events from D-Town:
                                              
1.      No-one knows what has happened in D-Town this week because no-one has dared to go outside.  Lonely faces have been spotted staring out of windows, wondering what the hell is going on.  Traffic-lights have been changing through their sequences despite their being no cars to speed through on red.  The weekly ritual of watching the bacon-slicer in action in the window of the local butcher has been abandoned, because there is no-one to wind the handle.

2.      The first of a series of council-sponsored rescue buses have left Swindon and Trowbridge to bring citizens home to The Vize.  People arriving in the Market Place after a nearly 40-minute journey looked frightened and exhausted.  They will now be required to self-isolate for 14 days, and will be monitored by a team from the local hospital.
