News From Bromham - Dateline Sunday 20th April 2014

Bulletin From Bromham: Dateline – Sunday 20th April 2014

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

1.       Easter-time spreads its usual deadly pall of misery over the village.  As is normal this time of year, no parking spaces available in the High Street to allow normal citizens to visit the shop to pick up a pint of milk and the Sunday newspaper, owing to the traffic jam caused by the twice-a-year brigade visiting St Knickerless (Christmas and Easter double bonanza).  This is a bunch of people who don’t know where the church is for fifty weeks of the year, but who have been savagely reminded by an episode of The Archers on Radio 4 that they really ought to get down there – to see and be seen. They should re-name the church St Hypocritas.

2.       And of course, there’s no escape.  Because a minority of citizens of the UK continue to believe, contrary to all the evidence, that some bloke 2000 years ago came back from the dead, it makes it impossible (as well as, apparently, immoral) to run a bloody bus service to allow the sensible, rational, majority of citizens to get out of the village.  It’s like Christianity gone mad, innit??

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