Bulletin From Bromham: Dateline
– Sunday 20th September 2015
Here is our weekly round-up of events from Bromham:
1. Bromham’s
Foreign Ministry has been criticised after erecting a barbed wire fence on the
border with Seend in a blatant attempt to prevent the migration of refugees
fleeing the civil war. This represents a
complete u-turn in policy after Mrs Hicks (the blousy blonde on the High
Street, whose husband is always away on business) had earlier invited a
homeless Seend family to come and stay with her, thus provoking a tidal wave of
sanction-seekers.
2. This
week marks the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Bromham, when
villagers stood shoulder to shoulder to defend the free area of Bromham from
invasion by the Trowbridge jackboot of county red-tape. As the Chairman of the Parish Council once
remarked: “never has do much been owed to so few vegetable-pickers” and “we
will fight them in the fields, and in the packing sheds, and behind the
delivery lorries” and “I have nothing to give you but beetroots, carrots and
parsnips”. It is thought he had been
drinking, and possibly reading the Daily Mail (again).

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