Bulletin From Bromham: Dateline
– Sunday 27th December 2015
Here is our weekly round-up of events from Bromham:
1. With
torrential rain for several days, much of Bromham is now flooded. Flights have been diverted from Bromham
International Airport, as the runways have now been converted into a boating
lake. The Kennet & Avon canal is
being used for speedboat trials, and the marina has become Europe’s largest
outdoor swimming pool. Dave Wentwrong,
leader of the Parish Council, has sent a message of regret, dictated by him
personally from the deck of his yacht which is currently moored in the
Caribbean. So that’s all right then.
2. Christmas
was celebrated in the village in the traditional way, with a sing-song in the
back bar of the Wounded Ferret, followed by a running fight between two gangs
in the High Street and a spate of house-burglaries. Several people entered the competition to see
who could turn wine into water, Mrs Iva
Piglet was caught kissing Santa Claus under his bush, and the pizza was deep
and crisp and even.
3. A
Happy New Year to all our readers. Same
old, same old. Enjoy turning off Jools
Holland’s Hootenany.
4.
For
details of these and all other Bromham stories, don’t forget to listen to local
radio station Carrot FM.
