Bulletin From Bromham: Dateline
– Sunday 17th January 2016
Here is our weekly round-up of events from Bromham:
1. History
was made this week in Bromham, as a man born and bred in the village itself
carried out the first external repair of a tractor whilst it was circling the
village. Dressed in special overalls, sealed
by industrial-grade bailer twine, went on a four-hour “walk” to repair the
left-wing rear-view mirror of the tractor.
At no time was his life in any real danger, due to the rigorous safety regime
in operation.
2. Bromham
Crown Court finally convicted the three elderly criminals involved in the great
tea-cake theft from the village shop.
Over the Spring Bank Holiday weekend last year, whilst the shop was
closed for two days, 88 year old George ‘Cat Burgler’ Piglet, 89 year old Peter
‘Thief’ Piglet and 86 year old Robert ‘Blagger’ Piglet broke into the shop and
stole a packet of tea-cakes and other goods.
Police said that some of the stolen items may never be recovered, as
they had been eaten. The criminals were
caught not using forensic evidence or detailed police investigation, but by
simply looking at their nicknames.
