Bulletin From Bromham: Dateline
– Sunday 24th May 2015
Here is our weekly round-up of events from Bromham:
1. The
Snug Bar of The Wounded Ferret was packed last night as the results of the
Bromham Referendum were announced. In a
landmark decision, history was made when Bromham villagers voted six to five to
change local by-laws and to allow inter-species marriage. Whilst the practise has been common in some
of the more outlying fields for many centuries, only now will it be legal to
take a sheep or a goat into a formal sexual relationship. Traditionalists in the staunchly
vegetable-farming communities are said to be outraged.
2. Bromham’s
entry in the Euro-Wiltshire Song Contest once more ended in failure, coming in
last place. Despite a rousing chorus and
outrageous dance routine, Ted and the Scarecrows’ entry, entitled “Boom-box-a-bang-around-the-barn”
failed to impress the judges, drawn from a cross-county panel. Commenting on the quality of this year’s
entry, Peter “Campy” Piglet, the famous Bromham impresario, noted that the
group “had been lucky to even score nul points”.

radio station Carrot FM.
