Here is
our weekly round-up of events from Bromham:
· Several
puffs of white smoke from the chimney of the Bromham Social Centre a few nights
ago appeared to indicate that a new vicar for Bromham had finally been chosen
after five rounds of balloting. However,
it merely turned out to be the burning of a wad of old betting slips which had
been thrown upon the fire. Habemus
Errata.
·
Meanwhile
the People’s Communist Party of Bromham, in its bi-annual meeting in the Wounded
Ferret, officially endorsed the “election” of its new leader for the next ten
years, Xi Jinpiglet. The entire
Commisariat of five people stood and applauded as the new glorious leader
finished his maiden speech in The People’s Hall, also referred to as the Ferret’s
back room. He spoke of the challenges
facing the Shining Socialist Democracy of Bromham, particularly as the
Communists are yet to win a seat on The Parish Council. He denigrated existing councillors as “capitalist
running dogs”, but was heard to apologise for the remark when he was forced to
ask one of the running dogs to lend him a tenner with which to buy a round of
drinks.
