News From Bromham - Dateline Sunday 2nd February 2014

Bulletin From Bromham: Dateline – Sunday 2nd February 2014

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

1.       The Parish Council is reporting that the village is at serious risk of drought in the coming Summer months.  Accordingly, an immediate hosepipe ban has been introduced, and other water-saving measures put into force.  Speaking from beneath an umbrella in the teeth of driving rain, and sporting wellington boots in order to wade through flood water in the High Street, Dave Wentwrong (leader of the Parish Council) claimed that we really needed to think ahead.  At this point his interview was cut short so that he could get out of the way of a motorboat making its way to rescue flood-marooned householders.

2.       The Education Committee Chairman, Michael “Fingers” Glove, has announced that the Parish’s schools are to return to older educational standards.  Starting next week, all new technology will be removed from schools, and pupils will be issued with personal blackboards and chalk.  Regular thrashings will be carried out by teachers, together with a tough regime of starvation and punishment.  Pupils will be expected to attend classes wearing smocks, threadbare leggings and shoes with holes in them.

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