Bulletin From Bromham: Dateline
– Sunday 28th June 2015
Here is our weekly round-up of events from Bromham:
1. In
another piece of financial brinkmanship, Dave Wentwrong, leader of the Parish
Council, has announced that the citizens of Bromham will decide on the village’s
future in a referendum, not the bureaucrats at Wiltshire County Hall. There are continuing fears that Bromham will
default on its overdraft payment to the Bromham Bank (currently £327.45
overdrawn), and that the Parish Council will become, in effect, bankrupt. Queues of up to five people formed at the ATM
in the High Street as people rushed to withdraw their meagre savings, and to
put them somewhere safer (such as under that big black rock at the back of the
cow-shed, where no-one will find it).
2. And
the Bromham Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has just announced that a
middle-aged, shouty, sweary man who does stupid things in fast cars will
replace another middle-aged, shouty, sweary man who used to do stupid things in
fast cars in one of their most popular programmes, dedicated to middle-aged,
shouty, sweary men who would like to do stupid things in fast cars, but who don’t
have the money or the imagination to do it for themselves.
3.
For
details of these and all other Bromham stories, don’t forget to listen to local
radio station Carrot FM.
