News From Bromham - Dateline Sunday 27th December 2015

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.
