Here is
our weekly round-up of events from Bromham:
·
The
tendering process for the next ten years carrot-picking on the North West side
of the village is to be run again, following a complete U-turn announcement by
the Parish Council, which described its own procedures as “unfit for carrots”. Bearded entrepreneur Richard Piglet, leader
of the Verging Ridiculous consortium, welcomed the opportunity to bid again.
·
A
row has broken out between leading members of the Field Land Owners’ Party
(FLOP) regarding the minimum number of weeks before parsnips can be
pulled. The previous limit was 24 weeks,
but with recent advances in harvesting technology, there are now calls for the
limit to be reduced to just 20 weeks. A
spokesperson for the Pro-Parsnip Alliance has commented that parsnip-pulling
should be banned in all cases, and the crops allowed to grow to full maturity.

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