Drivel From Devizes: Dateline – Sunday 12th June 2022
Here is our weekly round-up of events from D-Town:
1. Protesters gathered in the Market Place on Friday to demand much tougher gun laws, following the near-massacre in Poundland last week, when a spotty youth sporting a hoodie and two fingers in the shape of a fake gun demanded that staff hand over several tubes of Pringles. Shoppers were left traumatised by the near-robbery, the near-shooting, and the near blood-bath. This follows the incident the previous week when a man might have been seen with an airgun, although the witness was said to be “not quite sure”.
2. And as the threat of a national rail strike looms ever closer, D-Town citizens were left feeling smug. As the last train left in 1963 following the Beeching cuts, and the entire station complex entirely demolished for a car park and housing estate, locals were left not being able to give a toss.
