News From Bromham - Dateline Sunday 8th July 2012

Bulletin From Bromham: Dateline – 8th July 2012

Here is our weekly round-up of events from Bromham:
·         A row has broken out in Bromham Parish Council regarding the exact nature of the enquiry into the fixing of the parsnip inter-field fixed lending exchange (PIFFLE) rate.  The Field Land-Owners’ Party (FLOP) want an enquiry headed by two old blokes in the corner of the snug bar of The Wounded Ferret, whilst the Carrot Rooters’ Action Party (CRAP) are holding out for an enquiry headed by a committee of regulars from the saloon bar.

·         Scientists at Bromham’s Small Kohlrabi Collider, based in Peter Piglet’s former cow-shed at the bottom of Ash Lane, have announced a major breakthrough in their researches to find the long-sought-after Pig’s Nose-on.  It had been lost several years ago after a long night on the cider.  However, the scientists found that by smashing kohlrabi into each other at incredible speeds, they could knock each other senseless, bringing about a sudden recollection, for just a few seconds, of the whereabouts of the missing Article.

·         Details have been announced of the cuts to Bromham’s defence forces which, by 2014 will be at their lowest level since the Great Tea-Trolley disaster of 1947.  Police foot-patrols of the borough are to be slashed from four times a week to three times a week, and the local police-force will be reduced from Fred, Bob & Jim down to just Fred & Bob.  Jim will be reduced, if possible, by a process of natural wastage.

·         For details of these and all other Bromham stories, don’t forget to listen to local radio station Carrot FM.
