Bulletin From Bromham: Dateline –
Sunday 7th April 2013
Here is
our weekly round-up of events from Bromham:
· 1. There
were massed protests, involving up to four people, in Bromham High Street this
week as the impact of the Parish Council’s swingeing farm benefits cuts began
to bite. Families receiving less than
three bunches of carrots per week, and who have a spare shelf in their
vegetable rack, will lose up to 25% in the amount of credit they are allowed at
the village shop. Meanwhile, farmers who
have a whole barn-full of vegetables in storage, will find themselves better off
over the year as a whole. The Clerk of
the Parish Council defended the changes saying “we want to end the culture of
vegetable-dependency in Bromham”.
· 2. Bromham
Casuals have surprised football-lovers everywhere, and especially those in the
Wiltshire Germolene League, by replacing their long-serving, but largely
unsuccessful, manager Benny Dogleash, with a right-wing self-confessed fascist
named Paula Dick-Annio. Defending the
Club Board’s decision, a statement was issued to the press, stating that the football
performance on the field was far more important than the manager’s gender. “We wanted to shake things up a little in the
dressing-room, and the introduction of a woman will probably achieve
that”. Star striker Dwayne Mooney was
unavailable for comment last night.
