Drivel From Devizes: Dateline – Sunday 27th August 2023
Here is our weekly round-up of events from D-Town:
1. A woman who threatened to resign from the Town Council in 1969, has finally carried out her threat. Council officials are said to be not only surprised and shocked, but also absolutely delighted. Following over fifty years of delay, this now paves the way for a Council by-election. Several candidates who had been lined up by her party to succeed her have since ruled themselves out of the running, but even more of them have simply lost interest in politics or died.
2. And a former politician has been taken into custody, and charged with impersonating an orange. He asked for several other offences to be taken into account, including being lemon-faced, slipping on a banana-skin, blowing raspberries at the authorities, talking absolute rhubarb, looking like a right melon and straining his plums in public. But where can a mango when he’s such a fruit-cake?
