News From Bromham - Dateline Sunday 23rd September 2012

Bulletin From Bromham: Dateline – 23rd September 2012

Here is our weekly round-up of events from Bromham:
·       Dicky Legge, leader of the Workers’ Horticultural Organisation (WHO), was forced to apologise this week for his failure to make a pledge regarding a promise that he was reputed to have made several years ago, regarding an undertaking on the subject of a possible understanding about the way he might vote, on the off chance that he ever got into power on Bromham Parish Council.  Mr Legge admitted that he himself was “totally confused” about what he may or may not said during the heat of the moment when discussing politics in the saloon bar of The Wounded Ferret.  He said that the whole thing was “a very sorry business”.

·        Mr Legge was shouldered out of the way by several regulars of the Public Bar who each wished to apologise for swearing in frustration at the old crippled beggar who tends the lych-gate at the parish church.  Each had been denied access to the church-yard whilst riding their bike, and forced to wheel it round by the side.  In turn, the old crippled beggar apologised for any misunderstanding that may have occurred.  The church sexton issued a statement in which he apologised to the old crippled beggar for forcing him to stay outside the lych-gate.  The lych-gate itself was not available for comment, but was thought to be considering legal action.  Or issuing its own apology.

·       We would like to apologise for the number of apologies in this bulletin.  We are really, really, really sorry about this.  Really.  Very sorry.  Very, very sorry.

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