Bulletin From Bromham: Dateline
– Sunday 13th March 2016
Here is our weekly round-up of events from Bromham:
1. A
row has erupted among members of the Parish Council regarding reported comments
made by a woman in the chip shop last week.
It is alleged that the woman, dressed in a thick coat, headscarf and
sensible stockings, voiced the opinion that Bromham should leave the Wiltshire
Union (Brexit). The source of the leak
for this information is not known, but several PC members feel that anything
said in the privacy of the chip shop queue should remain in the chip shop. Others felt that the woman should have
remained independent, and should not have voiced her opinion in the first
place. The price of chips has not been
affected.
2. The
leader of the Brassicas Sub-Committee, Boris “Flashmob” Piglet has denounced a
memo released by his own office forbidding other members of the sub-committee
from discussing sprouts and kale in any terms which might be interpreted as
contradicting Boris’s own views on cabbages, at least in public. Boris has now said that views on ruby chard
and cauliflowers may be expressed in free way.
A new memo has now been issued, countermanding the first memo, although
Boris claimed that the first memo had never been issued, but that if it had
been issued, it shouldn’t have been, and he didn’t agree with it anyway. A third memo is to be issued denying the
existence of the first memo. Fred “Fingernails”
Piglet, who works in Bromham’s brassica fields, has not been affected.
