DELAYED - News From Bromham - Dateline Sunday 4th August 2013

Bulletin From Bromham: Dateline – Sunday 4th August 2013

Here is our weekly round-up of events from Bromham:

1.       This bulletin has been delayed in its production owing to the temporary closure of the Bromham embassy in Outer Seend, following detailed (but unspecified) terrorist threats intercepted by the Bromham Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).

2.       It has been revealed that several major Bromham businesses have been operating by using controversial zero-carrot-based contracts.  These contracts allow businesses to work in a completely flexible way, by offering workers a certain amount of carrots per week, according to operating requirements.  Some weeks this can mean no carrots, and other weeks it can mean more carrots than they can realistically handle.  However, these contracts have been heavily criticised because they do not allow workers to know how many carrots they may earn from one week to the next.  This is the latest scandal to hit commerce in Bromham, after it was revealed last year that Tim Piglet’s Retail Emporium in the High Street had been offering its employees a zero-parsnip contract.

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